This webinar is being delivered by ISPCC in collaboration with Bodywhys. The session will be led by Kathy Downes, Support Services and Training Manager with Bodywhys, and will provide a clear overview of what eating disorders are and how they can appear along a spectrum of disordered behaviours and thoughts about food and body image in young people.

Parents and carers will also explore how a young person with an eating disorder may experience themselves and the world, and how supportive communication can make a difference. The webinar will cover: understanding the difference between disordered eating and an eating disorder; possible risk factors and warning signs; how to approach food and body image at home; and what next steps to consider if you are worried.
