Families & Eating Disorders

Support

The support of friends, family and professionals is extremely important in the recovery process for anyone with an eating disorder. It is also important for those caring for the person with the eating disorder to receive support themselves.

In this 'Speaking From Experience' video clip, parents talk about the different ways they gave support to their loved one with an eating disorder, and the ways they received support to keep going.
