PROGRAMS

Our focus is the prevention, control and treatment of eating disorders, emphasising early intervention and empathetic care.

Seek-Help-Speak-Program

Our program will equip educators with the knowledge and resources necessary to support young people experiencing an eating disorder. The program covers a range of key components.

Signs and Symptoms:

Recognising the signs of an eating disorder is the first step in offering support. Through this module, we empower individuals to identify the subtle and not-so-subtle cues, allowing early intervention and empathetic conversations.

Myths and Misconceptions:

Eradicating myths is crucial in dismantling the stigma surrounding eating disorders. By dispelling common misconceptions, we pave the way for informed, compassionate discussions.

Language of Seeking Help:

What language to use, to build communication and break down resistance. Hide N Seek firmly believes that educators can serve as influential advocates for positive change in the lives of young people affected by eating disorders.

SUITABLE FOR:

FEATURES:
