SUMMARY and OBJECTIVES
Eating disorders affect not only individuals but also families and support systems, requiring a coordinated and multidisciplinary approach to care. This presentation examines evidence-based approaches to eating disorder treatment that integrate family involvement with medical, nutritional, and behavioral health interventions. Participants will explore strategies for engaging families in the recovery process, collaborating across disciplines, and addressing the complex medical, psychological, and relational aspects of care.
The presentation will review the role of family-based interventions, assessment of medical stability and risk, and coordination among treatment providers. Through discussion of clinical applications and case examples, participants will gain practical tools for supporting individuals and families throughout the recovery process.
