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.
Courses:
Our CPD-accredited course are aimed at students and professionals who may encounter vulnerable adults or children who could be at risk of developing disordered eating thoughts or behaviours. Each module is 90 minutes long and delivered online (via Microsoft Teams) by our team of trained professionals. Each module will give you a greater understanding of the chosen topic, as well as more practical advice on supporting someone with eating difficulties.
