SupportED
About SupportED
We work in communities across Scotland to support people with an eating disorder, their families and carers. We offer help and support to anyone over 16, carer or sufferer, who is affected by an eating disorder. We run support groups for both people struggling or recovering from an eating disorder and for parents’ or carers of loved ones with an eating disorder.
Our Befriending service is here to support you in your recovery. Through weekly phone calls with a trained volunteer, you will set achievable goals to help build your confidence in making positive changes. Befriending is for anyone affected by an eating disorder who would like support in their recovery. Our service also supports carers, families, and friends of anyone struggling with an eating disorder.
