Kenn għal Saħħtek -

In 2012, prior setting up the Centre aimed to target holistic treatment for eating disorders and obesity, a research was conducted by the NSO to have a bette picture of  the rate of patients who suffered from an eating disorder. The results matched others conducted by similar centres across EU.   Hence this project was initiated whereby a homely, modern and welcoming place was identified.

The methodology followed is based on a therapeutic programme that involves collaboration between multiple professions who address the various aspects of the disorder by adhering to the same theoretical model of treatment. The programme features highly specialised care and is divided into different stages of care from both a psychological,  nutritional aspect and physical.

Throughout the past years, Dar Kenn għal Saħħtek adopted a multi-disciplinary, integrative approach.  Psychologists, psychotherapists and counsellors work together with occupational therapists, physiotherapists, nutritionists and doctors/psychiatrists to provide each client with a holistic individualised care plan which is reviewed during a weekly team meeting and adjusted accordingly.

There are many misconceptions that can be overcome if people are educated on the subject from a very young age. Whilst anybody can suffer from obesity or eating disorders at any stage in their life,

There is still not enough awareness and patients are most likely to not seek help.  Ask for all the help you can get …You are not alone.
