SWEDA - ongoing support for students

Students affected
by eating disorders

SWEDA seeks to support young people who are trying to manage their eating disorder whilst in education or training. Our aim is to enable and support young people in this situation to continue and succeed with their studies, to help them move forward in their recoveries and, hopefully, to leave them feeling empowered, motivated and excited about moving on into life after study.

Support
Students are welcome to (and many do) use SWEDA Frontline Services which includes a telephone helpline, support by letter or email and online chat support using Microsoft's Windows Live! Messenger.
