Zuzanna from SupporteED Families and I met with Minister Butler today. We presented survey results, stories of people who have had difficulty accessing care, and talked about the care bottleneck because of weight bias and differing perspectives. It was a great opportunity! #edrecovery #edawareness #mentalhealth #irishpolitics @HSELive @MaryButlerTD @roinnslainte
A good news day- 2 new specialist ED teams for 2025, & hearing @DrMClifford at @NCP_ED webinar say the focus for 2025 is building momentum with existing teams, focus on increased adult inpatient beds, & transitions from Camhs to amhs @bodywhys@MindEverybody@MaryButlerTD#EDAW
The results are in!
Today marks the start of Eating Disorders Awareness Week, and as promised, the comprehensive report from the survey titled, "Lived Experiences of Eating Disorder Treatment in Ireland," is now published on our website and available for download.
Thank you so much to the individuals who participated in the survey.

Thank you so much to everyone who has taken the time to fill in the survey- we've received over 60 responses so far!
If you or someone you know would be willing to fill in the survey, please take the time to do so by Friday, the 24th of January. After that time, we'll compile a report with the results to send to the new government and to the media.
Please keep in mind that the survey may be triggering, and you may stop at any point without submitting. You and your mental health always come first!
If you have any questions or need any more information about the survey, please contact us at [email protected].
Thank you so much for your help.

Hi guys! As everyone is aware, there is a new Irish government beginning soon. We are hoping a fresh start will mean fresh eyes and ears willing to improve eating disorder services across Ireland.
Some of the main issues we would like to see improved are more adult beds, better transparency and acceptance rates into inpatient facilities (no catchment restrictions), consistent funding, sufficient recruitment and training of staff, and sufficient outpatient supports, including outpatient / day services / transitional services, and access to therapy.
The more responses we obtain, the better statistics and information we can provide to politicians and the media about what is going right and what is going wrong with treatment.
Please keep in mind that the survey may be triggering, and you may stop at any point without submitting. You and your mental health always come first!
