Multi-Family Group Therapy for Adult Eating Disorders

Multi-Family Therapy is conducted once per week over the course of 8 weeks for 1.5 hours per session. Therapy is provided to a minimum of 3 families and a maximum of 6 families with the aid of two to three therapist group leaders. Group topics are set and cover material on eating disorder psychoeducation, care-giving styles, meal support, and relapse prevention.

Supportive Family Therapy is treatment as usual in the eating disorders program at TGH. Families meet independently with a therapist once per week for 1 hour per session. The length of the therapy and the topics of therapy are decided upon collaboratively with the therapist and the family.
