Caregiver Skills Toolkit
This new toolkit provides parents and caregivers with the vital skills necessary to support their loved one’s eating disorder recovery.
What is the FEAST Caregiver Skills Toolkit?
This online program was developed to level the playing field for parents and caregivers of individuals with eating disorders. Some families may not have the resources or knowledge needed to help a family member with an eating disorder. Having access to the right support and resources can make it easier for families to care for their loved one and help them recover faster.
This toolkit provides important support and access to resources that are critical when faced with an eating disorder.
