Feeding care has never had agreed upon ethical standards. You can help write them.

Feeding Matters and Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta have launched the Center for Feeding Ethics: a national initiative to define how feeding disorder treatment should be delivered.
Before we set any guidelines, we’re hosting focus groups. We’re recruiting:

- Parents and guardians of a child who has received treatment for pediatric feeding disorder (PFD) or avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID)

- Adults 18+ who have been diagnosed and/or treated for a feeding or eating disorder

- Healthcare professionals across settings and disciplines: inpatient and outpatient, hospital-based and private practice, early intervention, schools, home health, and primary

What to Expect: one 90-minute virtual conversation about your experience with treatment. Caregivers and adults with lived experience are grouped together; clinicians meet separately.

ICYMI: In this episode, Emory Center for Ethics Director, John Lysaker brings an ethical lens to feeding care. From navigating autonomy to embracing the iterative nature of treatment, this conversation challenges us to think more deeply about how care is experienced, not just delivered.

The discussion also highlights the Center for Feeding Ethics, a new initiative from Feeding Matters created in collaboration with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta to advance ethical standards in feeding care.

The Center for Feeding Ethics will engage clinicians, researchers, individuals with lived experience, and advocates in shaping the future of ethical feeding care.
