When a friend or family member is diagnosed with an eating disorder, it’s often terrifying and confusing. How did this happen to our family? Is my child going to be okay? Will my friend ever get better? It’s all too easy to get tangled in these questions and become mentally trapped, paralyzed with fear and unable to help yourself—or your loved one. Helping your loved one recover from an eating disorder will take a lot of work from everyone involved. As with many jobs, having the right tools is crucial. Eating disorders have a steep learning curve, and you and your family member will need to develop lots of tools to work towards recovery. The NEDA Parent Toolkit was created to provide some of these tools that can be used in critical moments in your search for help, hope and healing. As one parent told us, “this toolkit was exactly the resource we needed when we started the journey for our family, we needed real resources, reassurance that we were not the only family with the challenge and that there would be light at the end of that tunnel.” The toolkits are designed to put crucial information at your fingertips and offer your family a range of ideas on how to best help your loved one recover from an eating disorder.
