Eating Disorders

https://www.beateatingdisorders.org.uk/support-services/helplines

If you call our Helpline you will speak to a trained support worker experienced in listening and talking to people in a similar situation to you. We know it can be difficult to reach out for help and talk about what you are feeling and going through, but we aim to provide a supportive, non-judgemental space.

Our eating disorder helpline support workers are trained to:

• Offer a supportive space for you to explore your feelings and thoughts around eating disorders.
• Provide information about eating disorders. When we do not have the information that someone is looking for, we might be able to give you some ideas about who might be able to help.
• Explore options for help with eating disorders and to enable you to come to your own decisions about what might be best for you. This might include NHS treatment, private therapy, support from charitable organisations, peer support or self-help.
