First Steps ED

Eating difficulties and disorders don’t just affect the sufferer, they can have wide ranging implications for all those connected to the individual. At First Steps we believe that support should be available for all those affected including family, carers, parents and that accessing support early can be vital in ensuring an early and sustained recovery. Eating disorders are rarely about food, sufferers often just use this as a way of coping with their underlying emotional difficulties.

First Steps ED

First Steps ED: First Steps is an award-winning quality assured eating disorder charity providing care and support for adults and children delivering coping strategies and recovery services which are directly commissioned by NHS partners and funders to support individuals, families and communities.
