Skills to help your loved one overcome an eating disorder.
Caring for a person with an eating disorder is a long-term and skilled commitment. Yet families are often expected to provide care without any training or support.
In this six-week workshop, facilitated by qualified counsellors, you’ll develop practical skills to support your loved one with an eating disorder in their progress towards recovery.
Anyone caring for a loved one experiencing or recovering from an eating disorder, whether they are a family member, friend, colleague or partner.
