Welcome to Maudsley Parents. We are a volunteer organization of parents who have helped our children recover from anorexia and bulimia through the use of a family-based treatment known as the Maudsley approach. The Maudsley approach is an evidence-based treatment for eating disorders. We invite you to explore our site to learn more about how families can help their kids with eating disorders. Research shows long term outcomes with family-based treatment are promising.
NEWAsk an Expert We asked leading eating disorder experts to answer your questions. Read their advice to parents here.
NEWResearch Study: Online Course for Parents Stanford University is recruiting participants for a new study. Parents Act Now is an online program for parents who are concerned about their daughter's relationship with food and her body. Each week, participating parents will log onto the program which will teach them about warning signs of anorexia, the thoughts and cognitions that occur during anorexia, how to intervene, and how to support healthy eating and exercise behaviors. The program includes video clips, advice from expert psychiatrists, an online discussion group, quizzes with automatic feedback, and journaling opportunities, as well as educational information.
