Even the Smallest of Steps

We hope that this resource can serve as a reminder that recovery from eating disorders is possible. 

With heartfelt thanks to all of the people who were both kind and brave enough to share their stories of hope with us. 

You may wish to share this resource with someone you trust or your care team, if supportive.  

This video does not replace clinical care. If you need urgent help, use local crisis services.
