Parents and family members can be patients’ best allies in the treatment process!

Many adolescents and young adults with Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa benefit from a Family Based Treatment Approach (FBT). FBT involves the entire family working with the therapist to take charge of re-feeding their child and working toward health. The process begins with a parent in charge approach and works with the patient and family to transition to independence as recovery from disordered eating occurs.
