Sullivan Center For Children: Fox David A

What We Do

At the Sullivan Center For Children, we are committed to providing exceptional support and guidance to families affected by eating disorders in children. As a leading provider of healthcare services, we understand that eating disorders can have a profound impact on a child's physical and emotional well-being. Our dedicated team of healthcare professionals is dedicated to helping children recover from eating disorders and promoting overall well-being.

Services

Our comprehensive services are designed to address the unique needs of each child and family. We offer a range of treatment programs, including:

• Nutritional counseling to restore healthy eating patterns and weight
• Psychotherapy, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Family-Based Therapy, to address underlying emotional and cognitive issues
• Medications, as needed, to support recovery
• Family-based therapies, such as Family-Based Therapy, to actively involve the family in the child's recovery

Early Warning Signs

We understand that early detection and intervention are crucial in managing eating disorders. Our healthcare professionals work closely with families to identify early warning signs, including:

• Behavioral changes, such as obsessing over calories, fat content, and nutrition
• Physical changes, such as sudden or rapid weight loss or gain, fatigue, dizziness, or complaints about feeling cold all the time
• Emotional changes, such as extreme mood swings, increased anxiety around mealtimes, or withdrawal from friends or activities

Taking Action

If you suspect that your child may be struggling with an eating disorder, we encourage you to take action immediately. You can:

• Open a conversation with your child about their eating behaviors and express your concerns in a supportive, non-confrontational manner
• Seek professional help from a pediatrician, psychologist, or mental health professional specializing in eating disorders
• Educate yourself about eating disorders and their impact on children
• Encourage healthy eating habits and physical activity
• Foster a positive body image and self-esteem
• Provide emotional support and a safe space for your child to express their feelings

Treatment and Recovery

At the Sullivan Center For Children, we recognize that recovery from an eating disorder is a journey that requires patience, perseverance, and support. Our treatment programs are tailored to each child's unique needs, and we work closely with families to ensure a comprehensive and effective recovery plan.
