Eating problems and disorders snapshots

If you’re concerned about a child or young person’s relationship with food and their body image, the easy-to-read snapshots on this page explain what’s happening and what to look for.

Adopting the same style and layout as the universal snapshots, these age-specific guides (5-11, 11-16, 16-18 and 18-25) feature information on recognising signs, seeking help, and accessing the appropriate support services in Liverpool. They outline the various levels of support available, from prevention and early help to more specialist and high-level crisis care.

In relation to eating and body image, they aim to promote mental health, resilience, and self-care among children and young people while also providing links to resources for professionals, parents, carers and young people.

The MYA RAISE Team deliver bitesize training sessions: An Introduction to Eating Disorders and Body Image. They can be accessed through the booking calendar.
