When families are fortified, recovery is too.

---

Fortify Family is designed to empower families navigating eating disorder recovery.  Rooted in the principles of Family Based Treatment (FBT), Fortify Family recognizes the crucial role that families play in recovery.  This program provides support, tools, and guidance to help families become confident and compassionate allies in recovery.  

Eating disorders impact the entire family system.  When one struggles, the ripple effects of confusion, fear, guilt, and helplessness are often deeply felt by parents, siblings, and caregivers.   Evidence shows that outcomes improve significantly when families are involved in treatment, especially when they are given clear roles, skills, and support.  

• To increase understanding of eating disorders, malnutrition, and realistic recovery. 
• To reduce isolation and burnout in caregivers
• To strengthen the family's ability to support active recovery at home 
• To foster a united, resilient system around the client.  

• Compassion.  Honor the pain behind the disorder while equipping families with interventions.
• Empowerment.  Demystify the eating disorder and provide actionable tools.  
• Collaboration.  Families are part of the solution, not the cause.  
• Healing happens in Connection.  The client is healing and so is the family.
