Raising awareness for early intervention and prevention of eating disorders.
First Steps ED’s CPD accredited foundation courses aim to raise awareness and knowledge about eating disorders and disordered eating. Each course demonstrates a range of information and support tools that can be adopted in various professional settings. Whilst they may not train you in a specific diagnosis, the training will equip you with the information and skills to spot the signs and take an evidence-based approach to support someone at risk of eating difficulties and eating disorders.
Parent and Carer Guided Self-Help – £15
Caring for a loved one with eating difficulties can be frustrating, and finding support can be overwhelming. Take the first step to supporting them with our Parent and Carer Self-Help Resource.
The guide can be worked through at your own pace. Journal prompts throughout the course give you the opportunity to self-reflect on your own caring techniques, and how you can be an advocate for your loved ones’ recovery.

Body Image and Perception – £15
First Steps to Recovery is for anyone contemplating recovery from an eating disorder or eating distress. It has been developed with the help of people with lived experience of recovery from eating disorders.
The course is self-guided and can be worked on at your own pace. Journal prompts throughout the course give you the opportunity to self-reflect and really think about your own recovery – what it is, what it isn’t, and what it means for you.
Our team.
Our team understands what it takes to support someone struggling with an eating disorder, and it all starts with the right knowledge and training. We believe in early intervention and trust that better education around disordered eating behaviours can play an important role in protecting those who are at risk of developing an eating disorder, as well as offer effective support to those who are struggling with their relationship with food.
Each one of our trainers have experience in delivering our CPD modules both online and in-person, providing confidence in organisations and individuals who choose our ‘Skills for Eating Disorder Support’ training programme.
