About This Workshop

Are you concerned that your teen may be at risk for an eating disorder? Does any of this sound like your child?

  • Preoccupied with weight, food, calories, and dieting
  • Disappearance of large amounts of food in a short amount of time
  • Skipping meals or uncomfortable eating around others
  • Frequently going to the bathroom immediately after meals
  • Evidence of laxative or diet pill use
  • Refusal to eat certain foods or food groups
  • Irritable when something interferes with their ability to exercise

Your teen may be struggling with an eating disorder. And you may feel overwhelmed and uncertain about how to help them. You and your teen are not alone. 13% of adolescents will develop an eating disorder by the age of 20. 

Eating disorders have the second highest mortality rate of all mental health disorders, surpassed only by opioid addiction. Early intervention is a key part of eating disorder prevention and helps reduce serious psychological and health consequences. There are proven strategies you can use to help. If you are wondering how to support and reconnect with your struggling teen, this workshop is for you.
