Including parents in treatment saves futures... and lives
In the past 15 years so much has been learned about the brain and how certain people's genetics can make them more vulnerable or more resilient. Many of the traits that seem to predispose individuals to mental illnesses like eating disorders can also be strengths when appropriately nurtured. Mobilizing and empowering families to face the crisis of an eating disorder diagnosis is an evidence-based approach that offers the best chance at recovery. Including parents also means patients are more likely to stay in treatment. Patients of all ages deserve a family environment with responsible adults who both understand the disorder and act on their loved one's behalf. Skilled well-trained clinical teams collaborate with families.

Compliance with newer evidence-based treatment recommendations can be a challenge. Yet more
and more clinicians are finding that their job is easier and more satisfying as they successfully engage
parents and families into their practice. Combining experience with evidence allows treatment providers
to do what they do best: successfully treat patients who get to go on to their lives free of eating
disorder thinking, behavior, and medical consequences.
