Family Members Eating Disorder Research Tele-class - Begins October 2011 (see days and dates below)SIGN UP TODAY!

This is a unique opportunity to not only get the support, tools and resources to effectively cope with a child or other loved one's eating disorder but to also contribute to research.

We're fortunate to have the assistance of the above organizations in providing research tools as well as the research assistant to measure how this series can help families to thrive during the crisis of an eating disorder.  There will be pre and post questionnaires to fill out to help get answers as to what families need to cope with the crisis of caring for someone with an eating disorder.  We have releases to sign as well to be able to use this confidential information.  Only first names will be used and real names are not necessary.

More details coming soon - we wanted to get these dates out here and let you see what will be included.  You may sign up now and we'll email you the release and questionnaires.  Feel free to call with questions about the program.

Week One: Topics for this first session will focus on eating disorders versus disordered eating and how to care-give to ourselves, the caregiver.

Week Two: Learn how to separate your loved one from the eating disorder, setting boundaries, asking for help, and transitions. Guest will be an individual who has achieved full recovery.

Week Three: We will address the number one myth that parents/families cause eating disorders and how to embrace family conflict. Guest: Therapist specializing in eating disorders.

Week Four: We will discuss what to say/not say - what to do/not do, and receive practical tools for staying in balance and learn support skills for the caregiver.

Week Five: This session will concentrate on hidden losses - loss of dreams; riding the rollercoaster of emotions and books/resources.

Week Six:  The focus of this last session will include types of treatment; using your strengths for positive change and honoring your gifts.

"I think when a person is seriously entrenched in the eating disorder, the support people are the more important ones to reach, because the ill person needs someone to stay with them while they can't engage.  That's why support is so crucial."  Hallie Espel - fully recovered person!
