We NEED YOU! Parents and caregivers are such an invaluable resource and support system for a child or loved one with mental health struggles, including eating disorders. Watch this video to understand how IMPORTANT you are in the process!

 

Inspired by Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) developed by Dr. Adele LaFrance, this evidence-based 3-hour group will introduce and apply practical skills to strengthen relationships and respond to strong emotional reactions – expressions of worry, anger, hopelessness, and even silence. These skills can be invaluable when supporting your loved one through family based treatment in eating disorder recovery. 

 

Parents and caregivers will learn the basics of  navigating and guiding their loved one experiencing big feelings, emotional dysregulation, or mental health concerns such as eating disorders. 

 

Different from other mainstream parenting models, EFFT is rooted in a deep belief in the healing power of families. Parents and their child are "wired" together; the model supports parents being active agents of healing through providing tools to restore connection in their relationship with their child, and feel more empowered when met with tough parenting situations such as food refusal . Parents will also be supported to identify, work through, and overcome many obstacles that surface through the journey of emotional and behavioral change.

​

This group is introductory and does not take the place of individual work with a therapist or dietitian. The group is intended to be educational and supportive in nature.

 

*The group is led by both a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Dietitian. Both are trained in the EFFT model and Certified Eating Disorders Specialists.
