With the generous support of the Helen and David Hains Foundation, EDFA has developed dedicated resources to support siblings of individuals with an eating disorder, whether they live at home or elsewhere.
While siblings need support that speaks directly to their experience, parents and carers play a vital role in nurturing the emotional well-being of all children in the family. For this reason, EDFA created three tailored toolkits – each designed to support siblings directly, and to guide parents and carers in understanding and responding to what siblings may be feeling or facing.
The toolkits complement each other and are therefore designed to be read as a collective.
