Problem

A key issue faced by adolescents with eating disorders (ED) is the extended waiting time for outpatient appointments (around 27-28 days), making it difficult for appointments to be scheduled. During this time, there is a lack of reliable materials for carers to refer to. This could deter seeking of necessary treatments, leading to delays in treatments.

Solution

Our proposed solution is a website to support carers of adolescents with ED. The platform contains the information in bite-sized chunks to make it easier for carers to find the help they need when caring for their adolescents, outside of appointment sessions.
