While the support and expertise of a treatment team is essential to a teen’s recovery, parents and caregivers also play an important role.

Whether you have heard of Family-Based Treatment or not, it can be an effective treatment option for your teen.

If your teen has recently been diagnosed with an eating disorder, you may be feeling upset, confused, worried, scared, or unsure of how to help. These feelings, and any other emotions you or your family may be experiencing, are normal. Eating disorders are serious and complicated mental health conditions. While there’s no quick fix, your teen can recover with time, patience, and support.
