For people seeking recovery from an eating disorder

This virtual eight week program is available to anyone over age 18, anywhere in Australia, and will renew your hope for recovery. You will learn skills for re-engaging with your healthy self, including ways to develop positive thinking and feelings about your body and food.
For carers – friends and family seeking support skills
Collaborative Care Skills Workshop
This virtual, evidence-based workshop is available to anyone over age 18, anywhere in Australia. This program provides training and practical guidance to improve carers’ wellbeing, coping strategies, problem-solving skills and communication techniques. Our trained peer facilitators will draw on the wisdom of their lived experience to encourage carers in their vital role of caring for a loved one, friend or family member toward wellness and hope in their recovery.
Webinar Workshop for carers
Understanding Eating Disorder Recovery (UEDR)
Caring for a person with an eating disorder can be a long-term and skilled commitment. Yet friends and families often need to provide care with very little training or support. This free 6-week webinar based workshop will help you develop practical skills to support your loved one in their recovery.
