Your Role in Recovery is Crucial
When a loved one is navigating an eating disorder, it can be hard to know how to help—or even where to begin.
When a loved one is navigating an eating disorder, it can be hard to know how to help—or even where to begin.
That’s why we created this Family Support Course—a comprehensive program designed to empower families and caregivers with the knowledge, tools, and community they need to support their loved one’s recovery journey with compassion and confidence.
This course combines self-paced eLearning modules with weekly live support sessions every Wednesday at 12 PM EST, led by an experienced Eating Disorder Specialist.
Each week, we’ll explore key topics like understanding eating disorders, communication strategies, boundaries, meal support, and self-care for caregivers.
