Friends and family are valuable in the healing process.

Eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia and binge eating often exist in isolation and loneliness. It is important to create an environment of support, connection, therapy and openness both at Eating Disorder Center of Denver and at home.

We see the value of friends and family in the healing process.

Friends and families are an important part of the therapy puzzle. They can make sure you have a framework of love and support to rely on. They can help you work through problems when therapists aren't around. They see you when your guard is down. Friends and family are integral in the life-long recovery process.

Group therapy with room for the whole family.

Eating Disorder Center of Denver provides several opportunities to educate and involve friends and family in the therapy their loved one is undergoing. Such opportunities include:

• Group Therapy: Family members and loved ones are invited to attend certain group therapy sessions.
• Family & Friends Support Group: A group for families and friends of individuals suffering with eating disorders to discuss their problems, concerns and successes. 
• Family Therapy: Family therapy is provided on an outpatient basis when necessary and appropriate.

Therapists and specialists are always available to help family members cope with the struggles of helping their loved ones recover from an eating disorder.
