Teens, Families, and Eating Disorders.
THANK YOU to all who participated in VFED’s online talk today, “Teens, Families, and Eating Disorders.” Isabella Shirinyan’s enthusiasm was contagious. And because treating the family is part of our job so we learned skills to help parents (i.e., “critical allies”) as well as the teens. Young people have a window before an ED fuses and during which recovery is most possible. “Calm is medicine” and “Emotional regulation is crime prevention,” so be short, calm, and directive. And don’t burn out!
There was much more and all will be available in our website archives. Because this one was recorded! Some attendees not pictured.
