Eating disorders support
Providing resources for carers of young people with eating disorders
We worked with Eating Disorder Families Australia (EDFA) to research and write evidence-based fact sheets for parents of young people with eating disorders, to provide support and information, which is often lacking especially during the long wait time to see a specialist.
