Eating Disorders Australia (EDA) was born out of a desire to see carers not just survive, but thrive. Caring for someone with an eating disorder is a tough journey and we have seen how carers often end up misunderstood and discouraged. EDA hopes to change this. Carers provide a vital support during recovery and they deserve to have all the tools and support they need to play this role. We believe all carers need to be provided with a place where they feel understood and heard as well as providing them with the education and up-skilling required to support someone in recovery. Supporting someone with an eating disorder doesn’t come with a manual but that doesn’t mean it should be a heartbreaking and discouraging experience. Carers deserve to feel supported, confident and energised in their role. We have created our online courses to help you grow and figure out your next steps forward. We place value on carers looking after themselves in the process and knowing where to turn to for their own support.
