Helping children when and where they need it most

When a child has an eating disorder like anorexia or bulimia, parents often feel powerless in the face of such a confusing, dangerous illness. But in the eating disorder treatment most experts recommend, it is parents — coached and supported by clinicians — who are the keys to the child’s recovery.

This week on childmind.org ([link removed]) we offer expert insight into family-based treatment (FBT) for eating disorders ([link removed]), which can help kids return to a healthy weight faster than any other treatment. Daniel Le Grange, PhD, one of the founders of FBT, explains how parents guide their child’s recovery with a combination of empathy and “an environment in which not eating is not an option.” We also have tips on spotting eating disorders in boys ([link removed]) and college students ([link removed]), two groups whose struggles merit more attention.
