THE CONCENTRIC HEALING MODEL
The Concentric Healing Model reinforces the 8 Keys to Recovery and Healthy Self / Eating Disorder Self philosophy, incorporating the most current clinical, medical, psychiatric and nutritional approaches.
Development of the Concentric Healing Model modernizes Monte Nido & Affiliates programming with the most up-to-date clinical and nutritional approaches based on our research overseen by an independent review board, as well as evidence-based practices. The Concentric Healing Model offered at Monte Nido, Clementine and Oliver-Pyatt Centers programs is based in:
- Continued belief that our healthy selves heal our eating disorder selves, and that healing occurs within the power of relationships
- Awareness that sociocultural factors play a critical role in human development and, therefore, of socioculturally-informed care, with an adaptation of Health-at-Every-Size (HAES)-informed care
- Effective evidence-based treatment incorporated into weekly programming, with development and integration of family therapy approach for long term recovery
