Supporting Students

School staff can find it challenging to know what to do to support a student experiencing an eating disorder and what they can do for their wider school community (staff and students). However, schools can play an incredibly important role in the recovery of a student, particularly when they are returning from inpatient care or engaged in intensive outpatient treatment.

As the needs of each student may differ here is some helpful information to help guide your key staff. Should you require further support in relation to a student please contact the Butterfly National Helpline.
