The early signs of an eating disorder can be easy to miss. One behaviour on its own may not mean there’s a problem, but when several appear together, it may be time to seek support.

Parents and carers are often the first to notice when something isn’t right. Knowing what to look for can make all the difference in helping your loved one before things become more serious.

Read our blog to learn the 10 key signs to watch for and where to go for support: https://edfa.org.au/eating-disorders/10-signs-someone-you-love-may-have-an-eating-disorder/

Eating Disorders Families Australia's (EDFA) new program Nourish, Nurture, Notice is Australia’s first-ever FREE online eating disorder prevention program that equips parents and carers to act fast to prevent or identify eating disorders.

Caring for someone with an eating disorder can feel like navigating unpredictable waves. While we can’t control their ebbs and flows, we can build our skills, paddle out with support beside us, and learn to ride the waves no matter the conditions.

You’re not out there navigating these waves alone. With empathy, support and community, it’s easier to find your footing.

If you have an eating disorder, it's with you 24/7 - making every waking hour an opportunity for you to overcome it or for it to gain more control over you. This is why leading eating disorder treatments (such as CBT-E) spend so much time during the session developing a plan for the 112 waking hours between each session.

If your eating disorder treatment doesn't include homework tasks, it might be worth speaking to your practitioner about the 112 hours between sessions that aren't currently being put to good use and how future sessions might seek to address this.

You are worth so much more 💚💙

Recovery is a journey, not a straight path.

As carers, we need to see the small victories, the fears faced, and the moments of self-compassion.

It’s easy to focus on how far there is to go, but today, let’s think about how far our loved ones have already come.

Every step forward, no matter how small, is a step worth celebrating. You are doing an incredible job.
