Your loved one is in an eating disorder treatment program — now what?

Are you feeling anxious about what they may be facing during treatment?

Are you uncertain about how to be supportive during this time? 

Part 2: Beyond the Admissions Process focuses on what you can expect once a loved one begins treatment. Together, we look at the process on day one to week one to month one to give you an idea of what things will be like at home as well as what’s going on during treatment (including specifics from a clinician’s viewpoint, thanks to co-founder Wendy Wright, LMFT, CEDS). You’ll walk away knowing what it means to truly trust the process. 

This section includes a 90-minute video as well as four handouts.

Key takeaways include:

• How to get the most out of treatment by collaborating and communicating effectively with the program facilitators

• What you should expect of the treatment program

• Understanding the complexity of the disease, the progression of treatment, and the challenges your loved one may face
