How parents and carers can support a child with an eating problem

It can be a distressing, isolating and worrying time for anyone caring for a child who has been diagnosed with an eating disorder or who is having problems with eating.

As well as helping you understand more about eating problems, this booklet gives you knowledge and skills that will help you support your child plus some useful tips on supporting your own wellbeing. You can also find out more about our free online skills workshops for parents and carers.

We hope that this resource will reassure you that you are not alone, and that people do recover from an eating disorder.
