Parent/Carer Representation

The Scottish Child and Adolescent Mental Health Eating Disorders Services have recently held their first national conference and created a steering group which will meet three times per year. The purpose of this group is to maintain links between the services, look at current practice, discuss what the services need, and look at recent research.
Two parent/carer representatives have been appointed to the committee. Eva Musby, who is herself a parent/carer and the author of Anorexia and other eating disorders: How to help your child eat well and be well. The other is myself, Heather Cassie, chairperson of NEEDS(Scotland).
Both Eva and I would invite parents/carers to contact us with any issues they wish to raise with the steering group regarding services in their area and any suggestions you may have. You can contact me (Heather) through this website, or alternatively Eva through her webpage www.evamusby.co.uk/steering and we can raise these issues on your behalf. This Steering Group firmly believes that working together is the way forward in the struggle towards recovery.
