This study doesn't follow the usual testing phases — it may be an observational study or a different type of research.
This trial is testing a new way to treat anorexia nervosa in teenagers called Guided Self-Help Family-Based Treatment. Instead of long wait times for traditional therapy, families receive pre-recorded videos, a therapy manual, and regular check-ins with a therapist coach who guides them through the treatment at home. The goal is to make effective eating disorder treatment faster and more accessible across Canada.
Many teenagers with eating disorders face long waits to get help, and traditional therapy requires a lot of time and resources. This new treatment aims to solve that problem by standardizing the therapy through videos and written materials, while still providing personal support from a trained therapist.

The program is designed to teach you how to support your teenager in eating normally and managing the eating disorder from home, with the goal of completing treatment more quickly than traditional therapy.
