It takes a village --

              find yours here.

​

​

Your teen or young adult's eating disorder has turned their world upside down. Your high-achieving, trustworthy kid is now sad, angry, and hopeless. You want to help, but you don't always know how.

​

If this is you: 

• You are desperate to help your child, but you frequently find yourself out of ideas

• You need to learn about eating disorders so you can see it from their perspective, without reading every self-help book ever written

• You find yourself saying and doing the wrong things, but don’t know what else to do

• You’re feeling worried and overwhelmed, and sometimes feel like you don’t have all the strength you need

 

...Our group is for you!  

​

Our Parent Support Group will take you from feeling tired and overwhelmed to feeling empowered and purposeful. 

In this group, you will gain:

​​

Knowledge​

​

• Learn about when you should worry and when you can relax

• Know exactly what to say and how to say it so that your responses are helpful and not “triggering”

• Know what questions to ask your providers to make sure your child is getting good care 

• Get information that is relevant to your child’s unique situation, without reading a million books

​​

Skills

​

• Set healthy boundaries without guilt

• Get your child to eat without forcing, threatening, or yelling

• Learn meal support strategies to make dinnertime peaceful again

• Get advice for handling the really hard stuff, like self harm, panic attacks, and tough conversations. 

​​

Connection 

• Get support from parents like you, who understand you like no one else can. 

• Find out what has worked for other parents in your situation

• Vent, laugh, cry, and talk it all out. Come as you are and leave feeling ready to tackle whatever comes next.
