Co-Designing Anorexia Support and Treatment (Parents and Carers)

We are inviting you to take part in a project looking at lived experience of Family Based Treatment (FBT) for Anorexia Nervosa or Atypical Anorexia Nervosa, from the perspective of parents/ carers. In this project, we will examine the lived experience, both positive and negative, of Family Based Treatment for Anorexia Nervosa or Atypical Anorexia Nervosa (AN/AAN). We will be asking parents or carers with lived experience to take part. We would like to use what we learn to design a new adaptation of FBT, alongside people who experienced AN/AAN as children, parents/carers, and healthcare providers (clinicians). This project aims to explore lived experience of FBT for AN/AAN through surveys and individual interviews. We hope to better understand what works and what does not work in FBT for AN/AAN. We will then use focus groups to reflect on the themes from the survey and interviews and reflect on how to make changes to the FBT model of care.
