Are you a caregiver that is looking for skills and seeking support to help navigate your loved one’s eating disorder recovery and build more connection?
You are not alone. Join other caregivers to share experiences and learn new strategies. This free group will address how to manage distress during and after mealtimes, what to say when your loved one says “I’m fat,” how to set firm limits while remaining empathic and, how to build a practice of self-compassion.
Wednesdays from 1-2pm MT on Zoom

It’s commonly said that to be able to care for others, you must first take care of yourself. At Equip, we recognize caring for a loved one through eating disorder recovery is hard, important work — that’s why it’s essential for caregivers to prioritize their own mental health too. Join Equip’s Director of Therapy Dr. Tana Luo and Senior Family Mentor Kevin Dunn to learn practical and effective strategies for supporting yourself while also supporting your loved one through recovery.
