New Eating Disorder Workshop being offered!

A FULL DAY WORKSHOP would include:

• A power-point keynote address offering parents the unprecedented recognition they deserve for the positive role they can, and should, play in affecting successful eating disorder recovery outcomes in their child. In my experience, knowledgeable parenting has been proven to enhance effective, timely, and lasting recoveries in children. Self-advocacy is a prerequisite for parents to become effective advocates for their child, the treatment team, the recovery process, and the overall quality of the parent/child relationship.
  
• Breakout groups for families wanting to share similar personal experiences
  
• Multi-family group therapy sessions, facilitated by Abigail. Ninety minute multi-family groups would provide self-selected workshop participants the opportunity to experience a more deeply personal experience of community, self-awareness, and positive change. Parent and professional workshop participants choosing not to become actively involved in the group therapy experience would enjoy the option to learn more about themselves, recovery, and the therapy process by observing the therapy group in process through a "fishbowl" format.
  
• Workshop participants will enjoy the opportunity to experience a unique opportunity for body awareness and body image transformation through a two-hour experiential Feldenkrais session. This workshop segment would introduce this potent, atraditional, adjunct treatment technique that has been proven to enhance the processes of self-awareness, self-perception, problem-solving in eating disorder recovery. This Awareness Through Movement* workshop can be enjoyed by participants while seating or standing at their seats.
