First Steps ED exists to bring hope, opportunities and choices to lives affected by eating disorders #MeWithoutED #SupportNotStigma

First Steps ED is a the Midlands eating disorder charity, support those affected by eating difficulties and disorders regardless of age, race, gender identity, religion or belief, or sexual orientation. This includes our support of parents, partners and families, and training available to professionals.

Our principles of equality and diversity underpin our person-centred, service user led approach to mental health and a big part of the reason we decided to launch this space. Here you’ll find First Steps ED updates, as well as stories and features from our community. We want to give everyone an opportunity to share stories, introduce unheard voices and discuss important topics around mental health and eating disorders.
