Eating Disorders Victoria has created an online community for families, friends and partners of people with eating disorders called 'Care & Share'. It provides a virtual meeting place to share stories, experiences and knowledge, give and receive support, learn coping strategies and feel less isolated. This online community for carers of a loved one with an eating disorder also offers a chat session in real-time (once a week), as well as the opportunity to post questions via the forum (anytime) and share with others in a similar situation.

The chat session service operates on Mondays from 10am-12pm. The sessions are open to carers and loved ones of a person with an eating disorder and are fully moderated by EDV.
