Group Details:
This closed 6 week group supports parents who have a child or teen with an eating disorder. The group is designed for parents to receive necessary education about eating disorder treatment, while experiencing the support of other parents going through a similar situation.
Eating disorder treatment can feel confusing and, at times, scary. This group provides parents with a clear understanding of the treatment their child is receiving and how their role is essential for their child’s recovery.
The group will start May 24th and run for 6 consecutive weeks. Parents can sign up for as many 6-group cycles as they like, to continue learning and benefiting from this supportive community.
The cost of the group is $300 per family unit for 6 one hour groups sessions.
Topics for this 6 Session Group:
- First steps – diagnoses, establishing a treatment team, and appropriate level of care.
- Taking the reins – meal coaching and movement supervision.
- Establishing weight goals – Expected Body Weight and Growth charts
- Shifting the family food culture – HAES, body image, and food language
- Genetics and neurobiology – meds, phobic threshold, cognitive and emotional distortions
- Looking forward – graduation from treatment, intuitive eating, long-term prognosis
An essential adjunct to traditional treatment, this group will help you feel more connected to your loved one’s treatment and informed about the complexities of eating disorders. Led jointly by a therapist and dietitian, both who specialize in the treatment of eating disorders, this every other week series will focus on both education and community, providing space for learning, discussion and support.
