Online resources and guides
Caring for someone with an eating disorder can be challenging, confusing and, in some cases, complicated. We’ve collated a selection of online resources and guides designed to help carers like you make sense of eating disorders. In combination with expert help and medical care, we support families and carers across NI to decipher what an eating disorder means for them and their household.
