A family’s journey through treatment for Anorexia

Featuring one family’s journey through treatment for Anorexia, with input from professionals from CCHP Community CAMHS and the Riverside Adolescent Unit in Bristol, you will hear a family’s experiences in their own words, but with actors playing the family whose voices are heard. Young people suffering from other eating disorders would receive similar treatment, but everyone’s journey is unique.
