I do volunteer work with 9th grade girls and I needed an extra resource about eating disorders. The book is not long which makes it easy to digest. It’s simple, informative and empowering. I’d recommend it to anyone who’s struggling with a teen in their lives with an eating disorder.

Discovering your child has an eating disorder can be alarming, painful, and confusing, to say the least. This book provides an understanding of what your child is experiencing and how to support recovery in the healthiest way possible. An invaluable resource for parents of children with an eating disorder, and for clinicians treating young clients/patients with eating disorders.
