Family therapy can be a powerful and connecting experience. It can serve as a method of engagement within the family system, empowerment of every voice in the family system, and a way to offer consistent and clear psychoeducation to all members of the family. Family therapy can and often does support the the individual to ask for the support they need, directly and clearly making both parties...Read more (client/family) feel more connected and supported.

Family therapy/family care can be a critical component for both adults and adolescents in eating disorder treatment. Support persons are instrumental in helping clients reach treatment goals and support progress in recovery. Equipping caregivers with tools and support is key in their confidence as supporting loved ones.
