How Equip works
You get a dedicated multi-provider care team
Patients and their families are guided by a care team of anorexia experts who support with nutrition, therapy, medical care, and mentorship.
Treatment is backed by science
For most young patients, Equip utilizes family-based treatment, the leading evidence-based modality, which research shows is just as effective when delivered virtually as in-person.
As a parent, you're supported at every step
Your team, including a family mentor with lived experience, educates and supports you, empowering you with the skills needed to facilitate mealtimes and weighing.
You receive more than just appointments
Equip patients and their loved ones have access to an abundance of resources beyond provider sessions: support groups, workshops, meal support, body image work, and more.
Recovery is woven into everyday life
Virtual care allows you to schedule around daily activities, keeping your child at home while they build real-world coping skills for lasting recovery and relapse prevention.
Our team is here to help you understand your options
Our team will talk with you about your needs, and guide you toward the resources that best meet them – whether that’s Equip or not.
