Youth Worker Training

Beating Eating Disorders: the essential resource for anyone working with young people

Young people aged 14-25 are the most ‘at risk’ group for developing eating disorders.

The 'Beating Eating Disorders' manual has been developed with beat in consultation with youth workers around the UK, to equip those working with this vulnerable group with the key skills and knowledge they need to help and support young people. 

The manual contains five easy-to-follow sessions, with handouts and exercises to help you get the most out of training. The sessions can be followed in three flexible routes to suit your needs.

With your manual, you will also receive details of short films, made by young people, which can support your understanding of eating disorders.

99% of youth workers involved in the pilot felt that using this manual helped them develop their skills in working with young people affected by eating disorders.

Beating Eating Disorders is available to buy from the beat online bookshop for £12.99 including postage and packaging. Alternatively, call 0870 770 3256 to order your copy.
