Health and Community

EDV is committed to educating the Australian community so that people embrace the cultural changes required to reduce and eventually eliminate eating disorders in our society.

We provide professional development for schools staff, universities, fitness professionals, youth and community workers and health professionals, focussed on the identification, early intervention and prevention of eating disorders.

We work with students to help them learn about body satisfaction, self-esteem and self acceptance, and to promote an awareness of the dangers of dieting and of more flexible, relaxed ways to think about food.

We also provide speakers at community events to promote eating disorders awareness and spread the message of hope and recovery.

EDV does not provide treatment services, but works alongside treatment services to empower people with eating disorders and their families and friends to beat the eating disorder.
