Beat

It’s usually very difficult for people with eating disorders to get better on their own, so it’s important that you or the person you know finds professional help and support as soon as possible. The sooner someone is treated for an eating disorder, the better their chance of making a full recovery.

We know that gaining access to treatment isn’t always as straightforward as we would like it to be, and you might find that you’re faced with a wait before getting NHS treatment. In these instances, do remember the support services on offer through Beat. You could access our support groups online, contact our Helplines, open 365 days a year, or use HelpFinder, our online directory, to search for services near to you.

Our Helplines are open 365 days a year from 9am–8pm during the week, and 4pm–8pm on weekends and bank holidays.
