Behavior Change Coaching Groups for Eating Disorders and Weight Management

Convenient, cost effective, adjunctive treatment support for patients already engaged in individual treatment for an eating disorder, but who need an additional contact to support goals of the therapy. Advantages of Telephone Coaching for Behavior Change include: Attend from comfort of your own home, or even when you are traveling. Second therapeutic contact per week reinforces behavior change goals. Group feedback from others working on similar issues and goals. Privacy, confidentiality, and comfort enhanced by telephone format. Advantages for Therapists include: Participants in the group will be strongly encouraged to submit weekly reports prior to the group meeting summarizing behavioral goals, successes, and special challenges they want to focus on in group. These will be forwarded to the participant's therapist (assuming participant has given permission). Weekly reports will be supplemented by brief notes on the participant's use of group when there is any significant development for that participant.
