A practicionesr tool

Are you a GP?

We appreciate how challenging it must be to feel you are unable to immediately alter the course of someone’s experience of an eating disorder. Wednesday’s Child has been designed to ensure that a GP or a supporting health professional can feel truly ‘enabled’ within the care of someone in the community. Get in touch to understand more about how we can work with you via our social prescribing model for box distribution to patients, or, how we can aid learning within your practice about eating disorders and their complexity.

‘It takes a village’. This sentiment is so apt when it comes to helping someone battling a mental health issue like an eating disorder.

Empathy

Programme

£94 billion. Yes, that’s the startling figure the OECD says is the cost to UK of mental ill health. While you cannot compassionately attach a price to someone’s despair or struggles, this is a very stark reminder of how business is affected when we choose not to support those we love, learn, live and work with. Our Empathy Programme is built with that in mind. It’s great for businesses, but also for others who desire to support those they may recognise in their lives now or in the future. Our certified approach gives you an insight into what it’s like for someone who is living with an eating disorder. Become part of an increased audience of individuals who truly ‘get’ what it looks like in the modern world.

Advice &

Resources

We don’t want to preach at you with fact sheets about eating disorders and mental health. We know you can find the latest stats and facts on how many people are living with, or dying from, this awful illness. Instead, we want to regularly share ideas and information with you, via our newsletter and our inspiration sheets. If there’s ever a particular area on which you need more information, please do ask our team.
