Support for Parents of Children With Eating Disorders
Helping You Support Your Child Without Losing Yourself
When your child has an eating disorder, it can feel as though every decision carries enormous weight.
You may be wondering:
Am I responding the right way?
Should I push my child to eat or give them more space?
What should I say when they express fear about food or weight?
How do I handle meals without creating constant conflict?
Is my child receiving the right level of treatment?
How do I support recovery while caring for the rest of my family?
Parents are often expected to make difficult decisions while frightened, exhausted, and unsure where to turn. You do not have to navigate this alone.
Hallie Orton, MSW, LICSW, offers individualized consultations for parents and caregivers of children, adolescents, and young adults experiencing eating disorders or disordered eating. These consultations provide a private space to ask questions, understand what may be happening, and develop practical strategies for supporting your child and family.
