Family Sessions

Service Description

Family sessions form the basis of eating disorders treatment for children and young people. Sessions look to empower parents to take back responsibility for nourishing their child and understand their role in supporting them to make the necessary changes. They also help the child/young person to explore their motivation to change and understand their experience of their eating disorder. In other therapies, family sessions are a good way to understand the family patterns that may be maintaining unhelpful ways of thinking and behaving, and work together to create new, more helpful ways of communicating. All sessions can be accessed on an ad-hoc basis at any point during treatment.
