Eating Disorders Awareness Week runs until 7 February so it is worth highlighting a major source of information on the subject.
The Eating Disorders Association is a registered charity that provides training courses for health, education and social care workers, and also holds a UK-wide database of professionals working in the field.
Its web site features a section for young people, which offers information and advice on subjects such as building self esteem and explains where to get help.
It also addresses eating disorders in males and provides a link to a self-help network of volunteers and support groups.
