Eating Disorder Prevention & Intervention

Parent guidance and consultation for kids/teens who may be at risk of developing an eating disorder. Explore changes in the home environment that will foster a healthy relationship with food, exercise, and weight in order to lower their risk of developing eating disorders.

  • Is your child/teen starting to talk about food/weight in a negative way?
  • Do you want to learn healthy/balanced language to communicate with your kids about food/weight?
  • Are you worried your own behaviors will impact your child negatively?
  • Is your child currently in treatment for an eating disorder? Does your home project a neutral or positive mentality around food/weight/exercise?

Parent and caregivers can inadvertently send messages to their children either through verbal or non-verbal interactions that may have a negative impact on how they view their bodies and food.

Consultation for eating disorder prevention can help to ensure parents have the tools to communicate appropriately with their kids/teens around food and weight in a way that does not promote diet culture and instead promotes a balanced relationship with their bodies and food.

"Parenting is not a practice. It is a daily learning experience."
