Multifamily Guided Self-Help Family-Based Treatment (MF-GSH-FBT)

Previous research has shown that Family-Based Treatment (FBT) is an effective treatment for Anorexia. We hope to learn whether an adaptation of Family-Based Treatment (FBT), called online Multi-Family Guided Self-Help FBT, is feasible and acceptable for families of young people with Anorexia. The 'Self-Help' aspect of the treatment consists of a series of educational videos for parents about how to help their child with Anorexia, which parents watch on an online platform. The 'Multifamily' and 'Guided' aspects of the treatment consists of weekly meetings by Zoom for a group of parents of young people with Anorexia, with a facilitator present to guide a group discussion around whether parents feel they understood the content of the videos and whether the content is helpful.
