Training for Parents and Carers
We run a number of skills workshops for carers and those supporting someone with an eating disorder. Find the right workshop for you below.
Our Helpline is available to any carers who may need support, as well as anyone affected by eating disorders.
POD - Beat's e-Learning Platform
POD (peer-support & online development) is Beat's online learning platform, designed to provide people supporting someone with an eating disorder with a space to learn, share experiences and find community. On the platform you'll find a range of workshops, e-learning modules and forums that will help to equip you with the skills you need to support your loved one.
A new Coping with Celebrations workshop is coming later this year!
