When we launched MORGAN, the waitlists to access specialist treatment for an eating disorder were a staggering 6-12 months in Western Australia. Some services simply closed their doors to new referrals. We embarked on a bold mission to ensure that every individual with symptoms of an eating disorder can access timely, evidence-based support whenever and wherever they need it. Through our digital platform, we not only provide on-demand training and virtual supervision for mental health clinicians, but also offer virtual care direct to consumers. We are just getting started and can’t wait to share our journey with you. MORGAN, derived from ‘born from the sea,’ reflects our West Aussie roots and invites you to courageously reconnect with your core identity—just like the ever-changing ocean.
