The UK’s Eating Disorder charity, Beat Eating Disorders, are currently working with one of our partners, East London NHS Foundation Trust, to deliver the following workshops for carers in London: Raising Resilience and Developing Dolphins.

Developing Dolphins

These interactive workshops will help you support your loved one’s recovery. It can be hard to know what to do and say when you are supporting someone with an eating disorder. Through our free Developing Dolphins workshop series, we help you learn new skills and knowledge from experts. Developing Dolphins is based on the New Maudsley Method and its animal analogies. These Zoom workshops aim to help you be a “dolphin,” gently guiding your loved one towards recovery.

You will join along with others caring for their own loved one, and learn ways to handle issues like mealtime stress, boundary setting and more.

Developing Dolphins is open to parents, partners, siblings, and anyone else caring for a loved one, above the age of 10.

The workshops are delivered by experienced eating disorder clinicians. They are held on Zoom and run for 5 weeks, with a two-and-a-half-hour session each week.

If your loved one is currently under an Eating Disorder Team, you can ask for your clinician to refer you. Alternatively, if your loved one is under 25, you can self-refer here: Self-referral form
