Supporting Someone with an Eating Disorder: Guidance for Families.

If your loved one is struggling with an eating disorder, here's how you can help:

Listen without judgement - give them your time and let them know you're there, even when it's difficult

Encourage professional help - offer to attend appointments with them

Be patient - recovery takes time and there will be good and bad days

Keep including them - continue inviting them to activities, even if they decline

Avoid comments about weight or eating - focus on how they're feeling, not how they look

Remember you don't need all the answers. It is your support that matters.

Meet Sara from our team, sharing her perspective on eating disorder rehabilitation.

Many people spend too long in hospital settings when what they need is a step-down environment that bridges acute care and independent living.

Bramacare residences are a home-like rehabilitation service where residents rebuild their relationship with food, develop practical life skills, and regain confidence in a real-world setting.

This approach supports sustainable recovery focusing on the skills needed for everyday life beyond clinical care.

January can be a tough time for young people. Diet culture ramps up, social media fills with “new year, new body” messages, and unrealistic ideals are everywhere. If your child or teen says they want to lose weight, it can feel worrying, confusing, or even tempting to brush it off. But this is often a moment that deserves care and attention.

At Bramacare, we see how these conversations can either increase risk or become a powerful opportunity for connection and protection.

If something doesn’t feel right, trust your instincts. Eating disorders rarely resolve on their own, and early intervention leads to much better outcomes as highlighted in this great article by the Huffington Post.

It's a tricky topic to navigate. But it's important you don't brush it under the carpet.

"It was so important that she got admitted to hospital because it was intolerable at home".

The Feuers, parents of a current Bramacare resident, discuss the challenges of navigating their daughter's eating disorder.

Through this interview, they offer practical tips on the best ways to provide support to your children.

Our mission at Bramacare is to provide pathways to long-term recovery for those with eating disorders, providing support to patients and their families.

Strength in recovery isn’t about doing it all or getting it perfect. 💚

Strength is asking for help.
Strength is resting.
Strength is showing up to routine.
Strength is celebrating the small wins.
Strength is trying again tomorrow. 🌿

Because true strength in recovery is persistence, patience, and compassion. For yourself and the journey.

Recovery doesn’t stop on the way out the door, extends into the community. 🌿

At Bramacare, we encourage residents to take part in volunteering and community activities as part of their recovery journey. Whether it’s joining a local group, helping at an event, or contributing to a cause they care about, these experiences build:

🤝 Connection – rediscovering a sense of belonging
💪 Confidence – recognising strengths beyond the eating disorder
🌍 Inclusion – engaging with life outside of treatment
✨ Purpose – finding meaning through contribution

Community involvement is more than an activity. It’s a vital step toward independence, self-worth, and lasting recovery. 💚

Mental health matters for everyone, everywhere.

Recovery isn’t a race. 🌿

It’s about finding steadiness, not rushing to the finish line. At Bramacare, we focus on balance between body and mind, structure and freedom, effort and rest. Because lasting recovery is built step by step, at your own pace. 💚

Recovery isn’t meant to happen in a place that feels cold, clinical, or temporary. 💙

At Bramacare, we create homely spaces where residents feel safe, supported, and truly themselves. Comfort isn’t a luxury in recovery, it’s essential. 🌿
