Parent's primer on eating disorders: give this page 63 minutes
Posted May 12 2010 10:05am
Okay, I have a new favorite resource for parents!
In 63 minutes, broken into pieces for your convenience, Packard Children’s Comprehensive Eating Disorders Program has provided videos from the "It's Time to Talk About It" Panel Discussion they did for National Eating Disorders Awareness Week this year and it is absolutely wonderful.
I can honestly say that a parent new to this diagnosis will get a better start by watching these well-done presentations than anything else out there. These are authoritative, accessible, and up-to-date.
Watch them all, but take special note of the last video clip, by Dr. James Lock. What he says in that tape about the history AND THE PRESENT is vitally important for parents and for the rest of the eating disorder world to hear.
It is time to talk about it, but more to the point it is time to STOP talking about some things as well.
