AASW Recording | From Discovery to Recovery: Social work in community eating disorders

When Rebecca began working at Eating Disorders Victoria, she knew a little, but not a great deal, about eating disorders. She envisaged staying at EDV for a year or so, increasing her skills and knowledge and then moving onto another role within the mental health sector. After five and a half years at EDV Rebecca is still curious, learning, engaged and committed to the work. In this presentation she'll outline why she believes her work matters, what keeps her curious and inspired and how her work at EDV has enabled her skills and knowledge as a social worker to further develop and consolidate.
