Deep feelings of sadness and worthlessness often intertwine with a troubled relationship with food and body image. For teens struggling with both depression and eating disorders, the impact on their physical and emotional well-being can be devastating.

Parents may notice changes in their teen’s mood, social interactions, and eating habits but feel unsure about addressing these sensitive topics. Because early intervention leads to better outcomes, it’s crucial for parents to have the knowledge and strategies to help their teens find a path to recovery.

Join Families for Depression Awareness and the National Eating Disorders Association for a webinar exploring the complex relationship between depression and eating disorders in teens. Rocio Avila, LCSW-S will discuss how these conditions intersect, share practical strategies for supporting teens, and provide guidance on accessing appropriate treatment resources.
