Anorexia Self-Help
A new guided self-help intervention for carers of people with anorexia is being trialled across England. Expert Carers Helping Others (ECHO) is designed to address the stress of caring for someone with anorexia, which can be harmful for both parties. The intervention involves a book and five DVDs with support provided by volunteer 'coaches' (former patients or carers) who are trained in family therapy and motivational interviewing. The project is led by Professor Janet Treasure, director of the Eating Disorders Service at the South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust.
