AROUND THE F.E.A.S.T. TABLE

FEAST has been an irreplaceable source of support and information over the past few years. It has also been my gateway to other sources of information - books, podcasts, blogs, organizations, researchers, clinicians. We are in a much better place now. We donated to FEAST at the end of last year and intend to do so annually.

Dear Laura,
Thank you, the check is on the way. I just want you and everyone at FEAST to know how thankful I am that FEAST and the ATDT Forum were here for me when my daughter developed RAN nearly 10 years ago. It was through the ATDT Forum that I learned what I needed to do to help my daughter recover. Full recovery took a very long time, a number of years. But whenever I had a question or needed support, I knew that I could always turn to FEAST. Today, my daughter is fully recovered. I'm so appreciative of all that you do, and I hope that FEAST will be here for as long as parents need this help.

"FEAST brings the best carer support, resources, networks and real-time 24/7 life-saving help, to carers who may be isolated, uneducated about ED, or facing difficulties in obtaining effective treatment for their loved ones. FEAST has been a major driver towards effective advocacy and creating an unbeatable empowered community. Forever grateful for the help & support we received. ❤️❤️❤️"

Caring for a child with an eating disorder can be so isolating. This group is here to let you know that you are not alone, and things CAN get better!

"Amazing resource and compassionate community for families whose children are experiencing eating disorders."

I have been a member of F.E.A.S.T. for a decade and found that the information and support I got from this group, the leaders,parents, and professionals is what helped to EDucate me, empower me, and provide appropriate help to a loved one who had been provided ineffective care by professionals for over a decade. I went from loss of hope to hopeful and have F.E.A.S.T. to thank for that. I will be forever grateful.

Great information resources, as well as sharing and support from those with lived experience...F.E.A.S.T. is invaluable to those who are caring for a loved one with an E.D.

A wonderful resource of information, advice and support for caregivers

FEAST is a great organization that helps provide support for families fighting an eating disorder. Aunt Sally was so supportive of Aubrey and her struggle so we thought this would be a good way to honor her memory. Love, Kathy, Linda and Lisa

Imagine your child was diagnosed with cancer or a heart defect and none of the professionals you met for many months while awaiting referral to a specialist seemed to know what to do… this is a nightmare faced by many parents with a life-threatening eating disorder, and this site is a spectacular resource with up-to-date, evidence-based information and superb peer support. Even for those receiving excellent clinical care, it provides a depth of empathy and practical advice often not available elsewhere. I often refer parents to this site and am delighted to have it available for the wonderful parents I see at the hospital who are trying to find the best ways to help their ill child.

FEAST is a godsend for anyone who has a child or loved one suffering from an eating disorder. Their Around the Dinner Table forum provides a moderated venue to get support and advice from other parents and caregivers 24/7. As research changes our general knowledge about eating disorders, FEAST has partnered with a top-notch advisory team to create pamphlets that explain the neurobiology of eating disorders, how to choose treatment providers, and how families can come to terms to help their child. FEAST believes parents are a key component of the treatment team and provides resources to make us more effective team members

There won’t be enough space to write about the support that FEAST gives. Imagine being worried that your child may die but not know who you can talk to about it. Imagine the stigma of mental illness, and how it consumes every minute of every day. FEAST gives you access to a 24 hour a day service, with people coming together from around the world to offer support and a listening ear. We are still on our FEAST journey, but in a more positive place – thanks to the support, information and friends I have made through this amazing organisation. FEAST should be the website that all GPS give to a worried parent on their first visit, as the advice and support you would receive is priceless.
