Before you get started:
- This training has been designed for you to work through it at your own pace. You are welcome to take the time to read, listen and view things more than once.
- Registering for the training allows you to continue to access it for as long as you need to. If you find you are not in a place to complete the training now, it will still be there when you decide to revisit it.
- The reflection exercises with the training are to assist you in sorting through your own thoughts about meal support and what you are finding helpful and unhelpful in your individual circumstances. They are not compulsory, however we do encourage you to take the time and give them a go.
- Wherever possible, talk with the member/s of your loved one’s treatment team about your involvement in this training.
- It might take a while to work out which strategies and skills feel right for your individual circumstances. If you can, talk with your loved one about what is most helpful to them during the stages of meal support.
- You may need to try things more than once. Sometimes what doesn’t get a positive response today, might get a positive response tomorrow or in a few weeks.
- Your use of verbal and non- verbal communication skills may vary according to your individual situation. For example, if you are supporting a partner with an eating disorder the way in which you communicate will be different to a parent supporting a child.
- This training is not only about helping you gain knowledge and skills it is also about improving your confidence around meal support.
- Supporting a loved one with an eating disorder is challenging. Admitting your own vulnerability and asking for help or support if you need it is important for your own wellbeing and that of your family. So be sure to check in with yourself. If at any time you are finding things overwhelming, triggering or frustrating – take the time to acknowledge that and have a break.
