For Families
Overview
We understand the devastation of eating disorders extends far beyond the individuals experiencing them. Families and loved ones also experience feelings of guilt, stress and helplessness as they watch someone they love being debilitated by this destructive disease. It is not uncommon for family members to become exhausted and burnt-out, feeling overworked and alone in caring for someone with an eating disorder.
At the EDCSD, family and loved ones play an important role in a client’s healing. Not only do we invite your involvement, we also offer separate support for your own process, as you may experience the twist and turns of your loved one in recovery. We are here to offer you guidance, answers and hope as you and your loved one navigate the healing process.
