A free space to explore topics related to supporting someone with an eating disorder. Each online session will focus on a specific theme (i.e., supporting adult children, navigating school/college, EDs and other issues) and will take place once monthly from 7-8.30pm online via Zoom.

The interactive sessions will be facilitated by Bodywhys, who will provide structure and psychoeducation on each topic. Carers can:

• Share lived experience
• Gain information relating to unique topics
• Provide mutual peer support

For each topic, we invite carers to reflect on:

• What is it like?
• What are the specific challenges?
• What is helpful?
• What have you learned?

Attending the PiLaR Programme before participating is recommended. Places will be limited so expressing your interest in advance is recommended.

Booking can be made for each individual session by emailing: pilar@bodywhys.ie.
