The Embrace magazine

Nourish, Nurture, Notice

 

Nourish, Nurture, Notice is Australia’s first-ever online prevention program focused on early identification and intervention for disordered eating and prevention of eating disorders in young people.

The program was created in collaboration with Eating Disorders Families Australia and supported by the Queensland Government, and is designed for parents and carers of school-aged children. Comprised of a 30-minute online masterclass developed by The Embrace Collective as well as online drop-in sessions, this free program equips you with the knowledge and tools to spot the signs of disordered eating early – and take action. 

You can learn more about the program here.
