Education Inservices

Our team is happy to provide educational in-services from a person(s) with lived/living experience (PWLLE) perspective on how to be supportive to those experiencing eating disorders, though it is important to note that everyone is individual.

We are not trained professionals and cannot provide education on eating disorders; the focus of any education we provide is simply on ways to be supportive. If you are interested in educational opportunities with us, you can contact us via our e-mail (vanislevoicesforeds@gmail.com) or our contact page.

Educational opportunities are free of charge (though you’re welcome to make a donation if you are interested or have the means).
