Every family is different and as the expert on yours, please use the information in a way that works best for you.

Support for families affected by an eating disorder
BodyKind resources focus on body image and early identification and may not give you the support you need right now. If you are concerned about a loved one or are caring for someone with an eating disorder contact Butterfly’s National Helpline for information on Butterfly’s programs for carers or for referrals to treatment care and support. Eating Disorders Families Australia can also help.
And please remember, body image issues and eating disorders can occur in any family, anywhere and the reasons why are very complex. Everyone impacted by eating disorders is deserving of support.
