For Families: A Conversation About Eating Disorders

Knowing how to help our kids who are experiencing an eating disorder can be a terrifying, isolating and overwhelming experience. Learn about disordered eating, what to be aware of, the importance of connection, and strategies that help support recovery. Learn as Victoria Keddis hosts a conversation with Eating Disorders Therapist & Educator Carmen Kaufmann, and Rylee McKinlay, a young person with lived experience, and Terri McKinlay, a parent with lived experience.

This event also includes a panel discussion with Carmen Kaufmann (MSW, RSW Senior Manager EmbodyBC), Louise Green (Founder, Size Inclusive Training Academy and Advisory Committee member for EmbodyBC) and Claire Hunter (RCC, MCP, BScN and Clinical Counsellor, Bridge the Gap and Looking Glass Foundation for Eating Disorders).

Join us and other families for this video presentation and panel discussion that will be facilitated by a FamilySmart Family Peer Support Worker. Bring your questions for Carmen, Louise, and Claire.
