Endeavour - ARFID Carer Support Group from BEAT
The service is self-referral. In summary, Endeavour is a carer support group for parents/carers of young people, aged 5-15, with an ARFID (Avoidance/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder) diagnosis and/or displaying ARFID behaviours and presentations. Endeavour is an 8-week programme, involving 90-minute weekly group sessions delivered by Zoom. You will be sent a pre-reading each week to prepare you for relevant guided discussions and reflections in the carer support group, facilitated by a Beat Programme Officer. The aim of the group is for you to feel supported in a safe space, where you can talk openly about your situation, share your emotions and how you are managing with your young person’s ARFID behaviours
