Webinar: Supporting a Young Person with Disordered Eating – Information for Loved Ones
Eating disorders affect approximately 1.25 million young people in the UK, encompassing a range of conditions such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia, and binge eating disorder. Loved ones play a critical role in the lives of those affected, yet it can be challenging to know the best ways to offer support, especially when individuals may struggle to share their experiences due to feelings of shame.
This webinar is designed to equip family members, friends, and other loved ones with insights and strategies for supporting a young person dealing with disordered eating. You will gain a better understanding of how eating disorders manifest, learn effective ways to respond, and discover when to encourage seeking professional support—all while understanding how to provide ongoing encouragement through the recovery process.
You will learn:
- How to recognise signs of disordered eating and respond with compassion
- When and how to encourage seeking professional support
- Practical ways to support a young person in recovery
