Beat Eating Disorders Helpline

Christmas can be a difficult time of year for people with eating disorders and their loved ones too.

Beat’s helpline services will be open 3pm – 8pm from 18 December onwards.

Visit Beat helpline for:

• One-to-one web chat • Online Support Groups • Help and advice

Our online support groups will continue at their advertised times, while support programmes will also continue as normal unless otherwise advised by the Programme Officer. 

I also wanted to bring your attention to some additional sessions we are running for carers over the festive period on our POD platform.

Throughout December we are running themed chats on POD so carers can get the support they need in the lead up to Christmas & New Year.

Each Monday and Friday 1pm-2pm, carers can launch this chat in POD to speak directly to a dedicated expert. During these times, one of our Clinical Advice Trainers (CAT) will be on hand to answer any queries or provide support in real time. Our CATs have experience working within Eating Disorder Services and can equip carers with knowledge and advice to help them through the festive period.

The remaining chat themes and dates are as follows:

Friday 22nd December – Goals for Christmas

Friday 29th December- Green shoots and hopes for 2024
