Emotion Focused Family Therapy is a resource for parents, caregivers, healthcare and other professionals who are working with people struggling with an eating disorder or other mental illness.
It’s an evidence-based approach to empower parents and others with specific skills to be effective in their roles during the recovery journey.
Executive Director of EDFNL, Paul Thomey says eating disorders are a serious mental illness that impact the entire family, and thanks to the support from Bell Let’s Talk they can continue to support the families and caregivers of people dealing with an eating disorder on their journey to recovery.
