MUSC HealthMUSC Children's Health Eating Disorders Program

The Friedman Center for Eating Disorders is the only program in South Carolina to offer family based treatment – often called the Maudsley approach – for children, adolescents and young adults with eating disorders. Our objective is to empower families to play a key role in their loved one’s treatment. The team of multidisciplinary professionals at the Friedman Center offers support to families by providing them with the necessary skills and tools to help their child regain health and maintain recovery. It is difficult when your child is unhappy, isolated and not able to live life to the fullest. Our team of eating disorder specialists collaborates to create comprehensive, personalized, family-based care plans to guide your family and your son or daughter to get back to a normal, healthy way of life.
