Our Eating Disorder Support Hub for Families and Friends (formerly POD) provides information, tools and community for families and friends supporting someone with an eating disorder, featuring:

- e-learning
- workshops
- forums
- expert chat

With it's catalogue of free online e-learning modules you can learn more about eating disorders and how to be an effective carer.

When the sessions are over, you'll have the chance to continue conversations started in your group in a dedicated workspace.

You’re not alone in supporting a loved one with an eating disorder. With our support hub, you can connect with others who have the same experiences and worries as you. Through our peer support forums, you’ll be able to discuss what you’re learning, and share information, resources and ideas with other carers.

Each week, you’ll also be able to access drop-in spaces to meet with Beat’s Clinical Associate Trainers, who’ll help you consolidate everything you’ve learned.

Referral Criteria & Process

No referral needed. Our support hub for friends and families is a space designed for people who are supporting someone else with an eating disorder and it is completely free. So, if a loved one or someone you care for is dealing with an eating disorder, Register today.
