The Centre for Clinical Interventions (CCI) has launched a new evidence-based group treatment program aimed at helping adults manage Bulimia Nervosa and Binge Eating Disorder through practical, skills-focused therapy.
The Eating Disorders Group Treatment Program is a 12-week structured intervention grounded in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), a widely researched approach that targets the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. The program is designed for individuals aged 18 and over who have an eating disorder that does not require weight restoration.

Techniques to tolerate distress without resorting to harmful behaviours
Body image work to foster acceptance and reduce appearance-related distress
