TriCity Family Services offers an Eating Disorder Parent Support Group starting Oct. 14.

Support, skills-training, and empowerment for parents who care for a child with an eating disorder.

Receive an introduction to the program philosophy of Family-Based Treatment for Eating Disorders and experience ongoing parent-to-parent support for issues faced throughout treatment and beyond.

A trained FBT therapist will encourage sharing of experiences, successes, and challenges involved with supporting a child with an eating disorder. Topics will include self-care, communication styles, supporting children during meal time, and more. You do not have to be familiar with FBT to join the group. This is open to all parents who have a child who is struggling with an eating disorder.

It will be held from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month at TriCity Family Services, 1120 Randall Court in Geneva. The cost is $5 per parent(s) per session.

To register, call (630) 232-1070. For more information, visit tricityfamilyservices.org.
