Does your loved one suffer from anxiety, depression or a substance disorder? Do you feel helpless? We can help!
Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) is a new and innovative treatment model for the caregivers of individuals struggling with anxiety, depression and substance disorders. Different from many of the mainstream treatment models, EFFT is rooted in the deep belief in the healing power of families across the lifespan.
The goal of EFFT is to support parents and caregivers to take on the roles of recovery coach (to support their loved one to manage their symptoms) and emotion coach (to support their loved one with the strong emotions that come up throughout the process). Parents and caregivers are also taught how to heal emotional injuries in the family's past, including repairing parent-child relationships, if appropriate.
EFFT is a very powerful mode of therapy and parents and caregivers are taught practical skills and techniques that can be used to support their loved one's recovery regardless of his or her age and/or motivation for change. Parents and caregivers are also supported to work through their own fears and emotional reactions that will no doubt arise throughout the challenging road toward recovery and wellness.

Maintaining recovery is challenging because you may continue to have urges to engage in eating disorder behaviours which can lead to slips or lapses. The Living Learning Peer Support Group allows people who have recovered to share their thoughts, feelings and experiences of maintaining recovery after treatment. Group participants can openly share with one another the challenges encountered in maintaining recovery from an eating disorder and concurrent issues, in a safe and non-judgmental environment, and take comfort in the fact that they are not alone. Group participants can receive support and learn from one another by offering advice on ways to cope with triggers and overcome urges. The Living Learning Peer Support Group allows you to share your story of recovery with others, as well as instances when you have successfully overcome an urge during your recovery. Share with others the ways in which your life has improved since recovering from an eating disorder. Explore and discover your authentic self beyond the eating disorder. For those who may be struggling to maintain their recovery, you may find inspiration and hope in the recovery stories of others.
