    Situation

    Our primary aims are to intervene early to avoid an eating disorder becoming entrenched, and to support people while they recover. SWEDA’s specialist eating disorders service is based around therapeutic 1:1 sessions, with a qualified and experienced team of professional volunteers who will work with those with an eating disorder to understand and help change current and future behaviours. Tackling eating disorders as early as possible is critical to stop the condition becoming entrenched.

    Solution

    As well as our counselling services we provide training to GP’s, other medical professionals, school staff, independent schools, counsellors and health care staff. We deliver awareness sessions to young people in youth groups, fresher fairs, residential supported homes, colleges, and local schools.
