    There Is Hope

    Description

    endED provides tools and support for those whose lives have been affected by eating disorders.

    endED hosts fortnightly, family and carer recovery focused support groups led by people with real life experiences. Whether it’s a place to celebrate successes, air concerns, share frustrations or ask for help, endED’s goal is to provide a safe haven for expression and support of ED sufferers, family and carers in a private, non-judgemental space.

    The support group is free to attend and there is no membership commitment or requirement, so new people are welcome anytime.

    endED provides peer support, mentoring and coaching to individuals living with an eating disorder and assists them in their personal journey to normalised eating and the return to healthy living.

    endED engages with the wider community to create awareness and understanding of eating disorders and to initiate open and authentic conversations within clinical and professional sectors to enable a more personalised model of treatment. The aim is to nurture positive collaborative relationships and offer the most effective and efficient treatment for a loved one whilst providing reliable, compassionate support.

    Additional Information About Our Business

    A primary goal of endED is to provide support and information to parents and carers so they feel comfortably informed about the range of professional community services available in the local area. This personal confidence goes a long way to ensuring that their loved one receives a diagnosis that accurately reflects their individual symptoms and behaviours.
    Individualised treatment is necessary to minimise the medical, physical, social and financial concerns a misdiagnosis/catch-all diagnosis has on the sufferer, carer and the health system at large. One size does not fit all when it comes to the treatment of eating disorders. Treatment needs to target the origins of the dysfunctional eating behaviour and many clinicians, especially when working in isolation (eg family GP), are not equipped to provide treatment that requires combinations of pharmacology, nutritional restoration, brain based interventions, counselling, mindfulness and education.

    endED helps the carer navigate these very stressful times by working with them to find the best suited, multi-disciplinary team of health professionals for their loved one. This assistance in engaging the sufferer with a treatment team as quickly as possible is valuable to the immediate health of the sufferer and to the long term cost, emotionally and financially, on the carer and also the Australian tax payer.

    A very important aspect of returning to wellness for a sufferer is to be treated as a person not as an illness. endED affords the sufferer this dignity by providing a mentor/recovery ally to sufferers that wish to engage in a supported relationship with someone who has an authentic voice. This role is presently being managed by a young lady who battled Aneroxia for 15 years.
