Looking for the carers Facebook forum?
The EDFA Facebook group is for parents, guardians, partners, adult siblings, extended family members or friends (residing in Australia) who care for or support an individual living with an eating disorder.
Our program is run by parents and carers. We share hope and optimism that recovery is possible and through our supportive community, carers feel less alone.
We also use this platform to share details of EDFA’s upcoming events – online support groups and online EDucation Webinars – as well as links to resources, and opportunities to advocate for better support for eating disorders.
The forum is a private and monitored Facebook group offering support, understanding and compassion to carers during the recovery journey.
