Help For Carers, Family & Friends

There is strong evidence that early intervention provides the best chance of helping a loved one overcome an eating disorder. Even if the person with the eating disorder isn't ready to engage in recovery, the support and actions of caregivers can make a significant difference.

Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that require knowledgeable guidance, which can be accessed through carer support and counselling. This space is not just about supporting caregivers but also offers education and guidance on effective strategies that have been proven to help.

Throughout the course of an eating disorder, families often experience immense stress, and relationships can become strained. It’s a challenging time for everyone involved.

At EEDOS, we can help you find the right approach to communicate with your loved one. Fear of making things worse may prevent you from addressing important topics, but we can teach you how to approach sensitive subjects, such as mealtimes or changes in weight. It’s essential not to feel powerless against the illness while also avoiding overwhelming your loved one, even when offering love and support.
