It's good to see that ARFID is recognised. Spreading awareness of the disorder is important.

Do you know someone who is affected by ARFID?

ARFID is a newly recognised eating disorder, which became an official diagnosis for adults and children in 2013. For 12-year-old Alex*, the diagnosis came as a relief after years bouncing around the medical system.

Just to let everyone know that I am now an accredited mental health first aider.

Mental health is quite often overlooked with the every day stresses of life. It's important to know the signs that someone may need a bit of extra support, or even lend an ear or a shoulder to cry on.

Mental health is nothing to be ashamed of! The most important part is getting the support and help you need. Even moreso when you are in a position where you care for others.

Sometimes it may be difficult to find connections and communicate with parents who have a child with a disability.
Parenting a child with a disability can be quite difficult and lonely. If you know someone in this situation, reach out, ask how they are, how their child is. It's important to know someone cares.
