​
Dr. Jennifer Couturier and her research team at McMaster University are now recruiting parents of children and adolescents (less than 18 years of age) with an Eating Disorder to participate in virtual support groups with other parents of children with Eating Disorders.
​
Groups will be led by parent peer support providers, who have experience in caring for a child with an Eating Disorder (who has recovered) and have completed our study’s parent peer support training.
Study participation includes attending bi-weekly (2 times/month) virtual support group evening sessions for 3 months (6 sessions in total) – with each session lasting 2 hrs. The virtual parent peer support groups have been started and running successfully in all three regions of Canada (i.e Central, Western and Eastern) and parents are welcome to join these groups.
