Scotland - Help is just a click away

Self-referral, free of charge services for those based in Scotland.

You can self-refer into one of our programmes if you are supporting someone with anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder or OSFED- no diagnosis needed.

We have a range of fully funded programmes for those supporting a friend or family member in Scotland to help you gain confidence and develop the skills you need to support your loved one.

Eating disorder workshop for families and friends

Developing Dolphins 2 helps family and friends understand Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating Disorder, and OSFED and learn skills to support their family member, friend or partner.

Over 8 weeks, you'll gain skills to support your loved one at each stage of recovery and gently encourage change while taking care of your own wellbeing.

How can I join Developing Dolphins 2?

You can self refer using our form.

The next group is online via Zoom and starts on 29 April 2026, with additional groups starting in May.

1-2-1 Support for family or friends

Could you use a safe space? Somewhere you can open up to someone about how you’re feeling, while they empower you to support your loved one?

Nexus offers 1-2-1 support for individuals aged 18+ who are supporting a loved one experiencing Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder (BED) or OSFED - no diagnosis needed.

Carers Peer Support Group

When you are supporting someone with an eating disorder you can feel alone and like no one understands. Our clinician-led online peer support group will help you connect with others.

You'll be in a safe and friendly space to share stories, ideas and tips and learn new ways to cope and feel supported.

This group is only available in Scotland. If you are supporting someone with ARFID please check out our Endeavour support group.
