Eating disorders family and carers group

A support group introduced earlier this year is holding its next meeting during Eating Disorders Awareness Week, which runs from Monday 26 February to Sunday 3 March. The group is for family and carers of people living with an eating disorder, and it is facilitated by EPUT’s (Essex Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust’s) Eating Disorders Service User Network.

The group brings together people with shared experience in a supportive space. The aim is to support members through conversation, sharing experiences and resources, and by listening to each other.

The meeting is open to anyone who is caring for a loved one who may have a formal diagnosis of an eating disorder and resides in Essex. Meetings take place monthly on the last Thursday of each month. The next meeting will take place on Thursday 29 February from 4pm to 5.30pm, via Microsoft Teams.
