Eating Disorder Support App

Looking for better ways to support people with eating disorders?

The Eating Disorder Support App is a free, PIF TICK-certified resource that gives people safe, evidence-based guidance they can trust. By sharing it, your organisation helps people practise self-care, access help earlier, and feel less alone - while easing pressure on stretched services.

Why eating disorder support can't wait.

Eating disorders are serious, complex conditions that affect people of all ages and backgrounds.

  • Early help makes a huge difference - but waiting lists and patchy provision often delay it.
  • Unsafe online spaces can spread harmful myths and dangerous advice.
  • Families and carers want to support, but often don’t know where to turn.

Without timely support, eating disorders can escalate quickly and carry a high risk of suicide.

With clear, evidence-based guidance in their hands, people can find help sooner, practise safe self-care, and feel less alone - while staff and services gain space to focus on care.

What the app offers. 

  • Clear information - about eating disorders, myths, risks, and when to seek help
  • Self-help tools - coping strategies, calm zone activities, and safe self-care practices.
  • Signposting - to urgent help, treatment options, charities, and local/national services.
  • Tailored content - support for at-risk groups such as athletes, men, LGBTQIA+ people, ethnic minorities, and carers.
  • Always accessible - free, discreet, no sign-up, no data collection, and works offline.

Make it local. Make it yours.

For NHS, education, local authorities, charities, and employers, you can add:

  • A branded homepage.
  • Local service directories.
  • Tailored messaging for your community.

A simple way to connect people to the right help sooner - and strengthen your local offer.
