It gives an insight into Anorexia, Bulimia, EDNOS, supporting a sufferer, case study and resources that are out there. They want to get as many comments as possible on what is liked and what could be changed about the content, images, design etc. and would like to hear young people's comments.

Action for Children needs foster carers who can help children and young people transform their lives.
If you can offer a safe, caring home to vulnerable and challenging young people aged 10-18, we can offer you excellent training and 24-hour support.
You'll never be on your own, as we're always just a phone call away, and you'll also get generous fees and allowances (up to £600 per week) as well as regular planned breaks.
We need people from a wide range of backgrounds. So if you have a spare room and experience of caring for or working with troubled young people, we want to hear from you.
