Disordered Eating

Family and Friends

Education and Support Seminar

 

 The range of the disordered eating spectrum—overeating, body image, anorexia, bulimia, exercise/ diet addiction—affects not only the struggling individual but family, friends, and all areas of support.  The purpose of this seminar is to serve any person in support of an individual struggling with disordered eating. 

 

No doubt you have found that there are so many questions unanswered, valid fears and frustrations, and such a loss as to what to do.

 

This seminar is designed to answer questions, empower you to help, guard you from wounds to yourself and your family, and support you as you support your loved one.  It is an educational seminar, meant to assist in understanding recovery.  Confidential specifics of cases are not employed in the discussion. 

 

Sample topics to be covered:

*What are eating disorders?                                            * How can we help?                                              *Where do they come from?                                  *What is the course of recovery?                *Who/What is to blame?                                *Appropriate boundaries                                          *How can they be prevented?                                         * Is it really about food?                                         *What are the real dangers and risks?
