Learn about the basics of Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) from two experts in the treatment of eating disorders: Michelle Jones, Ph.D and Jennifer Vittitow, RD, LD, CEDS-C. In this first session they’ll cover:
- Signs of ARFID lack of interest subtype
- Lack of interest in an eating continuum (mild vs moderate vs severe)
- Goals of treatment for lack of interest subtype
- Stages of CBT for ARFID (CBT-AR)
- Treatment planning
- The "Five Steps" approach to learning about new foods
- Relapse prevention for ARFID lack of interest subtype
Created for individuals seeking a deeper understanding of what ARFID is, the best treatment approaches, and how to effectively support a loved one with ARFID – this series can be helpful for family/friends supporting a child/adolescent OR adult loved one. However, guidance for how to best support a loved one with ARFID will be more geared toward those caring for a child or adolescent recovering from ARFID. Always remember to consult with your loved one's treatment team regarding specific questions or concerns.
