Supporters Resources 

What does it mean to be a supporter? Sometimes it means just listening, sometimes it means giving space, sometimes it means taking action. Whether you are supporting a child, a friend, a sibling, a partner or a parent, there are resources available to help guide your unique supports journey. Educating yourself on eating disorders and connecting with ED support communities can help you feel empowered in your roles as a supporter. Below are a few links to resources other supporters have found helpful.
