I am delighted to share this wonderful and generous gift from a mother who recently contacted me. After discussing it with her daughter, she chose to remain anonymous.
Having worked in clinical psychology for more than 40 years, one of the most rewarding parts of my career has been collaborating with experts from different fields, as well as with people who have lived and living experience.
In recent years, co-production with people who have firsthand experience has become increasingly important. This handbook is an excellent example of what can be achieved through collaboration. It offers practical, neurodivergent-inclusive support for people on the journey to recovery from eating disorders and for the families supporting them.
On behalf of the PEACE team, I would like to express our heartfelt thanks to the author for creating this valuable resource. We also send our very best wishes to every family navigating this challenging journey.
