Who This Resource Is For?

This resource may be particularly helpful for:

• Clinicians supporting clients in identity development and recovery maintenance

• Treatment programs integrating experiential and narrative-based interventions

• Individuals transitioning to lower levels of care or discharge planning

A Note from the ‘Ai Pono Team

At ‘Ai Pono Hawaii, we approach eating disorder treatment through an integrative, evidence-based, and trauma-informed framework that recognizes the psychological, relational, and neurobiological functions eating disorders often serve. We understand that identity disruption and grief frequently emerge as individuals begin to separate from eating disorder behaviors, and these experiences are important components of sustainable recovery.
