About this Webinar:
Family based treatment for transition age youth (FBT-TAY) with eating disorders is an adapted model of FBT, originally developed for adolescents. Borrowing from the principles of the foundational model, FBT-TAY is premised on the belief that parents/families play a critical role in supporting their child with the renourishment process, weight restoration (if needed) and successfully launching from adolescence to adulthood. Recognizing the increased agency of the transition age youth, and their choice to accept or decline adult eating disorder care, FBT-TAY aims to empower both parents and the young person to collaboratively work together to achieve recovery. In this webinar, a developmentally tailored approach, strategies, metaphors and interventions will be discussed to support parents to address eating disorder behaviours such as restrictive eating and compensatory behaviours.
