Eating disorders are serious illnesses and can be life threatening. This video focuses on Family Based Treatment (FBT) for restrictive type eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa. Please speak with your child’s health-care team for more information.
These instructions are part of a teaching program for families of patients at The Hospital for Sick Children. They are provided in addition to detailed hands-on training. We urge you not to follow these instructions without training and advice from a health-care professional who understands your child’s unique needs.
