What does the eating disorders daycare programme at Schoen Clinic Newbridge include?
Patients on the daycare programme at Schoen Clinic Newbridge will attend our hospital for a set number of full or half days each week to receive support for their eating disorder. This form of specialised therapy is especially helpful for people who need some amount of continuing, structured therapy but don't require round-the-clock or inpatient care for their eating disorder.
We understand that every individual is different and that a variety of unique events might trigger the development of an eating disorder. Our aim is to help you recover by giving you the tools you need to combat your eating disorder and the support you need to see it through. You will be given a daycare treatment plan at Schoen Clinic Newbridge that is tailored to you based on your particular needs and concerns.
We offer a wide range of therapeutic techniques, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) informed groups, dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) informed groups, art-informed therapy, and mindfulness. The format of the therapy you receive during daycare will typically consist of a combination of one-to-one and group therapy.

What can I expect from the specialised eating disorders daycare programme?
Our specialised private daycare programme for eating disorders is available for people who may be diagnosed with complex or severe eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa. Patients on the eating disorders daycare programme are typically referred to Schoen Clinic Newbridge either as a step-down from inpatient treatment or where outpatient support is not sufficient.
This service is intended for those who desire to progress toward complete bio, psychosocial, and eating disorder recovery. The daycare programme includes occupational therapy, active nutritional rehabilitation, key working, and evidence-based group and individual treatment.
Patients who participate in the daycare programme typically aim for complete weight restoration or may already be at a healthy weight but have complicated mental health requirements. Individuals in the daycare programme usually attend treatment sessions anything up to five days a week (full or half-day). This is subject to change on a case-by-case basis depending on the individual needs of each patient.
Patients will participate in one-on-one sessions, group therapy sessions, and self-managed duties (including grocery shopping and meal preparation) while receiving guidance from our daycare specialists.
