McMaster University Research Project
Engineering students from McMaster University contacted us with regards to a research project through which they wish to create an application for parents related to support for eating disorders. Please see the attachments for more information. I met through conference call with two of the students and, subsequently, one of the students attended the two day Emotion Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) training we hosted, in May. Originally, they were going to research diabetes but much is already being done in this area and so their professor suggested eating disorders. Please see further details, below.
