No one teaches you how to care for someone with an eating disorder. This video series is here to help.

The day your loved one was diagnosed, you took on a job no one trained you for. The Caregiver Skills Series is that training: short videos from eating disorder clinicians and experienced caregivers, on the skills that make the hard moments at home go better.

Inside the Caregiver Skills Series: the skills video library

A look inside the Caregiver Skills Series.

30+ short video lessons

Organized into five skill areas: mealtime support, boundary setting, distress tolerance, emotional management, and crisis skills. Watch in order or jump straight to tonight's problem.

Taught by people who know

Eating disorder clinicians, therapists, and dietitians, alongside caregivers who have lived what you are living.

Key concepts and transcripts

Every video comes with its key takeaways and a full transcript, so you can review a skill in two minutes before a meal instead of rewatching.

Handouts to keep

Downloadable companion handouts you can print, share with a partner or co-caregiver, and come back to when it matters.

Skills you will practice

Real situations, taught as skills you can learn, not qualities you have to be born with.
