People in a range of professions support individuals and families affected by eating disorders. EDV’s education team are here to support professionals through training and professional development opportunities. The training will focus on awareness, early identification and early intervention. Eating disorders are complex mental illnesses. As a professional, you may find that you require additional knowledge around eating disorders in order to assist your clients, patients or students.

EDV’s education team run a range of training workshops that are suitable for, but not limited to, the following professions:

• General practitioners (GPs)
• School staff
• Health and other professionals

• Young people
• LGBTIQ groups
• Women during key life transition periods (adolescence, pregnancy, menopause)
• Women who have diabetes or polycystic ovary syndrome
