Support for binge eating disorder
Do you need help for problems around binge eating?
If you’re experiencing binge eating disorder, you might feel unable to stop eating, even if you want to. You might rely on food to make you feel better. You might also use food to hide difficult feelings. It’s sometimes described as ‘compulsive eating’.
As it may feel like part of your everyday life, you might be unsure if your issue with food and eating is a problem. But if your relationship with food and eating is affecting your life, you can seek help.
EMBER is a binge eating project delivered by Cornwall Mind, the NHS Adult Eating Disorder Service and Pentreath Recovery College.
The project combines 1-1 support with a caseworker alongside a specially designed course that includes CBT, compassion focus, mindfulness, nutrition, psychoeducation and body image work. Through reflective exercises and peer support, participants are enabled to develop alternative healthy coping strategies and more positive thinking.
This project is currently available in North & East Cornwall. You can refer yourself to us for support, you don’t need a diagnosis.
