Eating Disorder School Ambassadors
You don’t have to be an expert — just someone who’s present, trusted, and equipped to act.
ED Ambassadors are educators who:
-
Recognise early signs of disordered eating.
-
Have safe, compassionate conversations.
-
Support students through awareness and referral — not diagnosis or treatment.
​​
Structure:
Through structured training, ongoing mentoring, and access to practical tools, ED Ambassadors become a cornerstone in creating school cultures that prioritise wellbeing, inclusion, and early intervention.
