Having a child that has been diagnosed with an eating disorder can be an extremely frightening and stressful experience for parents and caregivers.
It’s difficult to know what treatment to choose and what approach would be most beneficial. Family Based Treatment is the recommended treatment approach for adolescents and young adults diagnosed with an eating disorder.
At Sööma, our dietitians and psychologists will determine whether this approach is indicated for your child and family.
Family Based Treatment (FBT) empowers parents, who are the experts on their children, to assist them in recovering from their eating disorder.
Our whole team has been trained in this approach. As dietitians and psychologists, our role is to act as case managers and offer support to the entire family.
FBT consists of three phases:
Phase 1: weight restoration and normalizing nutrition intake
Phase 2: transferring autonomy with eating back to the adolescent or young adult to what was previously normal while preventing the eating disorder from taking over again
Phase 3: relapse prevention, review of the treatment and returning the family dynamic to normal
FBT focuses on:
