Family-Based Therapy (FBT)

Family-Based Therapy (FBT) is a type of counseling designed to help families support a loved one with mental health issues, such as eating disorders. In FBT, family members play an active role in the treatment process. Therapists guide families to improve communication, foster understanding, and enhance problem-solving skills. The goal is to empower families to help their loved one recover while strengthening family relationships. FBT emphasizes the importance of a supportive environment, as family dynamics can significantly influence an individual's mental health and recovery journey.
