Disordered eating is on the rise in Australia and there are some common signs of eating disorders that parents and carers often miss. Disordered eating can range from the more well known restriction on the amount of food, to only eating one or two specific foods or being afraid to eat because you’re worried you might choke. Another potential sign of disordered eating can be an obsession with clean eating or a restrictive so called “healthy” diet!
If you have ever wondered about those tell-tale early indicators of an eating disorder then the Nourish Nurture Notice program’s Masterclass is something every carer needs to see.
This podcast episode is an edited version of that Masterclass video, which is part of Australia’s first ever online eating disorder prevention program for parents, that focuses on early identification and intervention in disordered eating in young people.
Nourish Nurture Notice, which also includes free drop-in sessions, was developed by Eating Disorders Families Australia along with the Embrace Collective and is supported by The Queensland Government.
In the full Masterclass video we speak to Paediatric Dietitian Dr Lyza Norton and Paediatrician Dr Penny Larcombe about their experience speaking to thousands of carers, what they hear the most about the early signs carers miss and what to do next.
As well as personal stories and advice from EDFA’s Executive Director Jane Rowan and Fill the Gap counsellor Rowena Brookes.
Nourish Nurture Notice is an Australian first and an important step in eating disorder prevention.
