Supporting A Person with an Eating Disorder Workshop

The Parent/Partner Education and Support Program (PESP) is part of the Body Esteem Program run by Womens Health & Family Services.  It is a one-day workshop for family members, partners/carers or friends who have a loved one experiencing an eating disorder.

The workshops are facilitated by women who have themselves experienced an eating disorder and subsequent recovery.

The Parent/Partner Education and Support Program (PESP) aims to:-

• Provide information about the nature of an eating disorder and of recovery in order to help people gain a deeper understanding of what their loved one may be experiencing.
• Acknowledge and strengthen family communications and provide an opportunity for people to learn strategies for self-care.
• Hear from women who have recovered from an eating disorder themselves.
• Gain resources that will assist you to support your loved one’s recovery process.
