OUR COURSES

Our Foundations course aims to equip you with the tools and information you need to support your loved one while also caring for yourself. Eating disorders cause a lot of pain and chaos and the recovery journey can be overwhelming at times. You deserve to have the strategies and support you need to be able to navigate this. 

Our 4 week introduction course (2 hour webinar a week) to caring for someone with an eating disorder aims to equip you to do this. We also aim to connect you with other carers who may be going through a similar experience. You’re not alone in this and we would love you to join us!

Some of the topics we cover include:

• ED treatment in Australia
• Stages of Recovery
• Healthy Self vs. Eating Disorder Self
• Carer Styles
• Working with thoughts & feelings
• Dealing with intense emotions
• Building your own support
• Meal Support
• Managing difficult ED behaviours
• Self-Care

Our Advanced course aims to provide further knowledge and instruction on how to support a loved one. This course goes deeper into some of the concepts of the foundations course while providing more opportunity to workshop some of the common scenarios you might be struggling with at home. Connecting with other carers allows you to learn what’s been helpful for them and what you may be able to take away and try in your own situation. 

If you found our foundations course helpful, we would love you to join us in diving deeper into eating disorder recovery and how to support your loved one. This course goes for 4 weeks and includes a 2 hr webinar each week.
