What We Offer
We are proud to host a Lived Experience Network made up of individuals who have personal experiences with eating disorders, as well as their loved ones, often referred to as carers
Our aim is to harness these experiences to shape the future of adult eating disorder services.
Are you interested in using your lived experience to make a difference? We invite you to meet with either Hollie, our Peer Engagement Facilitator, or Emily, our Professional Lead for Lived Experience.
Fill out our short contact us form or drop us an email to express your interest and we will be in touch. We offer everyone who reaches out to us the opportunity to connect in-person at a convenient community venue such as their local library, or cafe, online via Teams, or over the phone. This informal meeting is your chance to learn more about SupportED, understand how provider collaboratives work, and explore how you might like to get involved.
After the meeting, you can decide if you'd like to register and become a part of our Lived Experience Network. As a member, you'll receive regular updates from us about various projects where you can use your lived experience to help develop services. You will also be invited to join our quarterly lived experience network meeting where you can hear about any new developments, and most importantly have your say about how our services are working.
We also host fortnightly online drop-in sessions.
These facilitated online spaces provide an opportunity for our lived experience partners to connect socially and engage in informal discussions. It’s a great way to meet others in the network and share your insights.
We are dedicated to ensuring all our lived experience partners feel supported. We’ll work with you to consider any wellbeing or accessibility needs you might have, enabling you to participate fully and comfortably.
For those actively involved in specific co-production projects, we offer pre-meeting check-ins and post-meeting debriefs at times that suit you. This is entirely optional, and we’re here to support you every step of the way if you choose to take advantage of this opportunity.
Join us in making a meaningful impact on the future of eating disorder services. Your experience and voice matter!
