Who is the conference for?

Best evidence treatment for eating disorders now shows that the close
involvement of families and carers in the care of their loved ones is key to
improving early detection, restoration to a healthy weight and maintaining long term wellbeing. For parents and carers, however, the journey can be confusing, challenging and difficult to navigate. 

The primary aim of The Conference is to provide access to a range of expert knowledge and skills for families and caregivers of people with eating disorders, so that they can leave the conference feeling empowered,  better informed and more able to support, care for and assist in the recovery of the person with the eating disorder.

The secondary aim of the conference is to provide families and carers of people with eating disorders with opportunities to network and connect with other people with similar experience, in a safe and supported environment, so that they can benefit and gain confidence and new insights from shared knowledge and experience.

We also welcome clinicians and sufferers wanting to learn more about and be inspired by the role of families and carers in supporting recovery.
