Eating disorder information
and support

for the Christian community

Eating disorders are on the rise, and Christians are not immune.

Christian faith can present unique challenges for people with eating disorders. It can also foster hope and recovery.

Wherever you are in your faith journey, you are welcome here. Whether you are struggling with eating or are supporting someone who is, we hope that this resource might help you to navigate aspects of Christian faith in eating disorders.

Stories from people who have experienced or supported someone experiencing an eating disorder are included throughout the website. You will find these on the Stories page, and in speech bubbles like this one. The stories have been anonymised to preserve confidentiality.

A team of researchers has developed this website together with people who have experienced eating disorders, or who have walked alongside them. We would like to acknowledge and thank all of these people who generously shared their stories with us and provided their input.

This website does not offer eating disorder treatment; it is not a substitute for professional support. Please reach out to professionals who are experienced in this area for individualised care.
