FAQ
-
I have had an eating disorder for a long time and have tried lots of things. Will this even help me?
Recovery from an eating disorder can take a long time for some, but at EDV, we hold onto hope that full recovery is achievable for everyone. This course may give you new things to think about and new tools to try. What have you got to lose?
-
I am a carer of someone with an eating disorder. Is this course suitable for me?
Yes, absolutely! As a carer, it's important to understand the ups and downs of the recovery journey so that you can understand and support your loved one.
-
Can I do this course instead of treatment?
No, this course isn't a replacement for eating disorder treatment. Rather, it is designed to compliment the clinical treatment you may be receiving, preparing for or re-engaging with. This course may help you better understand yourself and your recovery, which in turn can support the effectiveness of clinical treatment.
