Help shape Barwon Health's new eating disorder day program
The development of a new Eating Disorder Day Program in the Barwon region is progressing, with valuable input already gathered from individuals with lived experience in our community. This feedback has been instrumental in shaping the program’s design. The initiative is part of the Victorian Eating Disorders Strategy 2024–2031 and aims to provide intensive, community-based support for people with eating disorders in the Barwon South West region
We invite you to join a consultation group where your unique lived experience can contribute valuable insights to the design of this program. Your participation would be greatly appreciated as we work together to shape a program that truly reflects the needs of our community.
Who (two consultation groups, run separately)
- People who are currently experiencing or have recovered from eating disorders who are interested in helping design a new service.
- Carers of people who are currently experiencing or have recovered from eating disorders who are interested in helping design a new service.
What
