Carer Online Support Group
25.00€Next Support Group: Wednesday 19th November at 6.30pm.
The topic is ‘Planning for Christmas’.
We all know that Christmas can be a difficult holiday for those struggling with an eating disorder, no matter how far progressed they are in their recovery.
Food seems to be everywhere, everyone is talking about ‘indulging’ for Christmas. It can be really difficult! The pressure to attend social events, eat with extended family members and navigate the pressures of the season (because it is a season these days!).
And, of course, there is so much that we can do to support our loved ones through this time.
So, if you’re a parent, partner, family member or friend, please join us on Wednesday 19th November at 6.30pm for our Christmas Support Group.
It’s always a popular one!

WEBINAR: My child’s eating habits have changed. Should I be worried?
Price range: 40.00€ through 50.00€Webinar live: 11.09.23 6.30-8.30pm
Over a number of sessions, Deirdre will help you to:
- Understand the eating disorder illness better
- Give you the tools and techniques you need to better support your child
- Understand that you HAVE a role to play in supporting your child’s recovery – no matter their age
- Feel more empowered
- Feel listened to, understood and supported
This 1:1 session with Zuzanna is intended to assist with assessment, diagnosis, and treatment recommendations. The session will (a) involve a history and interview(s), combined with the use of a number of assessment tools which will help to both formulate diagnosis and offer recommendations for treatment, as well as a risk assessment and (b) help to answer some of the following questions:
- Is this disordered eating or an eating disorder?
- Which eating disorder is it?
- How severe is the presentation?
This assessment will enable the development of a strategic treatment plan, using proven evidence-based therapies, co-ordinated with other treatment providers as appropriate (for example, psychiatrist, GP, Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services and/or dietitian). Families are guided and supported by a team of professionals, working alongside them and their loved one.
