Caring for Caregivers:
Resource Guide
Caregivers/families/friends play a crucial role and are vital partners throughout the treatment, recovery, and healing journeys of individuals living with an eating disorder. However, being a caregiver to a loved one with an eating disorder, while vital, is psychologically, physiologically, interpersonally, and financially straining. The stress and strain of being a caregiver can lead caregivers to struggle with their own mental health and well-being.
