Name of Researcher: Dr Vanessa Yim

Affiliation: King's College London

Email address: vanessa.yim@kcl.ac.uk

Who can take part?

• Carers with experience of caring for someone from underrepresented groups with an eating disorder, where they are recovered or significantly improved.
  
• You must be 16 or above and not currently experiencing any acute mental health concerns that need treatment on their own.

What is the purpose of the research?

• We are keen to understand what helped someone recover from an eating disorder, and stories from diverse and marginalised backgrounds are under-researched in particular.

What does the study involve?

• Carers will be invited to participate in a one hour interview to share their stories of turning periods of recovery, and if there is any significant object/people/places that influence their recovery.
  
• They will also be invited to an optional 1.5-2 hour follow-up focus group workshop and share their photographs with other interested participants to discuss their meanings and themes together, where the photos of objects will be exhibited online.
