What this Trial Is About
CAREFREE is a 12-session Carer's Programme for carers of adults with moderate to severe Anorexia Nervosa. This programme was developed to provide carers with an opportunity to develop an understanding of Anorexia from a Biopsychosocial framework, taking into account the complex array of biological, psychological and social/environmental factors associated with the development and maintenance of this disorder. The CAREFREE programme is unique in its focus on providing a framework for understanding AN from a Schema -Compassion Focused framework, incorporating psychoeducation in regard to both Anorexia Nervosa and Carer Burnout. The programme has a relational focus, with an emphasis on improving emotional fluency, family communication skills and self-other compassion. The CAREFREE programme is open to carers from across Scotland and runs online. Outcomes (including carer and patient quality of life, family communication, patient motivation to change) will be analysed and published at the end of the 24-month period. One of the key benefits of this programme is that as it is a cross-regional-NHS project.
