As Giving a name to an illness doesn’t mean the cause of the illness is understood. EndED gives an authentic voice to living with a bio-psychosocial illness and treating the person not the diagnosis. EndEd now provides support to local, interstate and international families and sufferers, and is working with nationally and world recognised organisations to create awareness and foster attitudes of hope around eating disorders. This small group of parents and carers that embraced the idea that treating the whole person not just the diagnosis was the quickest way toward recovery, has now grown to become a recognised and respected community organisation.
