Feature

●Eating disorders affect people of different genders, ages and from all walks of life. They can be experienced long term or short term, and they can fluctuate or change over time.
●Living with an eating disorder can also be a lonely, isolating experience, with feelings of shame often exacerbating the problem by leading to secrecy.
●Eating Disorders & Other Shadowy Companions is a beautiful, highly-visual resource that aims to empower participants to bridge the isolation by sharing their experience with family, friends, teachers, counsellors, and other health professionals.
●With 40 hand-drawn cards and a comprehensive booklet containing guidance on using the resource, these cards stimulate conversations that challenge the silence and shame surrounding eating disorders.
●Each card includes an illustration and a question to help people reflect on and express what it feels like to live with an eating disorder and seek ways forward. Plus, these cards can be used to describe other ‘shadowy companions’ like addiction, depression and anxiety.
●Eating Disorders & Other Shadowy Companions is an ideal tool for use with individuals and groups.
