Ann, the mother of a former service user, kindly shares her heartfelt story as the parent of a child recovering from an eating disorder. She reflects on her daughter’s eating disorder journey at Rhodes Wood Hospital, our specialist Inpatient Eating Disorder service for children and young people, and what recovery looks like from a parent’s perspective. During the film, Ann particularly highlights the vital role of staff support and communication throughout her daughter’s time at Rhodes Wood.
By sharing the story of her experience during her daughter’s eating disorder journey, Ann hopes to inspire and encourage others facing similar experiences, by offering them the hope and strength to never give up.
