Celebrating Mom: The Heart of Recovery
May 26 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
In honor of Mother’s Day, join EDF and Equip for a panel discussion featuring three mothers-turned-advocates and their children in recovery.

At the heart of successful eating disorder recovery is a strong support system of loved ones who are there through it all—and that often includes Mom. In honor of Mother’s Day, join EDF and Equip for a panel discussion featuring three mothers-turned-advocates and their children in recovery. We’ll explore how familial relationships evolve through the recovery journey and share practical tips and tools for caregivers.

Moderator: JD Ouellette, Director of Lived Experience, Equip

JD Ouellette is the Director of Lived Experience for Equip; she previously developed and ran Equip’s Mentorship Department. When she helped her youngest daughter recover from anorexia a decade ago, it ignited a passion to offer hope and mentorship to other families in the way other families provided that for hers. In 2019 she left her career in education to work in the eating disorder space and is excited to be part of the work of enhancing FBT to work for even more people, and to provide access to evidence-based care that is not limited by geography.

Dad’s Toolbox for Eating Disorder Recovery
Jun 14 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Join us to learn practical tips and skills for caregivers.

Dads have often been left out of the eating disorder recovery narrative, and Equip’s Director of Mentorship Kevin Dunn hopes to change that by motivating and educating men on becoming more supportive and effective as caregivers. In honor of Fathers Day, join Kevin for a special workshop to learn practical tips and tools for dads (and all caregivers) navigating recovery with their loved one.

Kevin Dunn is a dad who has been the primary caregiver for his daughter since her anorexia nervosa diagnosis five years ago—and her subsequent ARFID dual diagnosis. He maintains the view that eating disorder challenges present extraordinary opportunities for growth and learning. Certainly, they are unwelcome visitors on our family journeys, but, for Kevin, the “disorder” they bring opens broad pathways to “re-ordering” every aspect of family life for the better. His goal is to use his experience guiding his own daughter to support others on their paths.

Kevin is the Director of Family Mentorship at Equip and leader of their Men’s Group, and also co-founded the F.E.A.S.T. Men’s Group, with the goal of activating, educating, and motivating men to be more supportive and effective caregivers.
