About
Equip is a fully virtual program designed to address eating disorders, seamlessly integrating support into the individual’s everyday life and adapting to their specific needs. Every participant is paired with a dedicated five-member, multidisciplinary care team that accompanies them throughout their recovery, ensuring continuity of care rather than transitioning to different teams and settings. Equip is insurance-covered and features no waiting list, offering customized assistance for various eating disorder diagnoses — emphasizing that recovery is uniquely individual.
The program merges professional expertise with personal insights to provide extensive support. Employing evidence-based treatment techniques, it formulates tailored care plans for each patient. The dedicated care teams offer therapy, nutritional guidance, medical support, and mentorship. In addition to individual sessions, patients and their families can participate in support groups, workshops, meal assistance, body image work, and more.
Equip hosts numerous virtual support groups weekly, allowing patients and their families to connect in a judgment-free environment. The groups cater to diverse identities and needs, including spaces for 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals, men, BIPOC patients, athletes, and others. Caregiver groups emphasize skill development and shared experiences, with specialized sessions for those assisting individuals with Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) or gender-diverse patients.
One key aspect of Equip’s approach is its aim to secure insurance coverage for up to a year of treatment, helping to reduce the likelihood of relapse during the early stages of recovery. Each participant collaborates with their care team to create a relapse prevention strategy to deal with potential triggers and stressors. Even once patients have stabilized, the care team continues to provide support, acting as a safety net as they face challenges in the crucial initial months of recovery.
