#LetsTalkAboutIt: How to Help Someone with an Eating Disorder

On today's episode of #LetsTalkAboutIt, we're providing ways to help someone who has an eating disorder.

Instead of just confronting someone saying, "hey, it looks like you've lost a few pounds," come at it from the angle of saying "I've noticed a change in your personality."

We we'll break it all down and provide tips alongside our partners at Equip.

Kristina Saffran [CEO + co-founder] and Dr. Erin Parks [chief clinical officer + co-founder] share the importance of having the entire family involved, and setting rules so they don't act on their 'urge to purge.'

Family-based treatment is important when treating an eating disorder because there is an ambivalence to give it up.

The more you can equip them with care, education, and resources, the better!
