Summary

This study explores whether a 6-week creative writing program can help 10 teens and young adults (ages 16-25) with anorexia nervosa express themselves, reflect on their experiences, and build resilience. Participants will attend weekly workshops involving reading, writing, and group discussion. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and acceptable as a supplement to standard eating disorder treatment.
