Strong, well informed support from loved ones significantly improves the chance of recovery for people with eating disorders. Parents, family and friends caring for someone with an eating disorder are vital to their treatment and recovery, but they are not necessarily well informed, equipped or supported to be part of this process.
Without effective support, eating disorders can adversely impact parents, carers and siblings, leading to life-long mental health consequences.
EDFA was formed in 2016 by six parents of children and a partner with an eating disorder.
EDFA is the only national organisation that exists solely to support parents, carers and siblings of those who suffer from eating disorders. EDFA’s sole aim is to support, educate and empower parents, carers and siblings during the often complex and difficult road to recovery.
EDFA supports families to better manage treatment within the home, decreasing the need for hospitalisation and supporting families’ mental health and wellbeing.
