Description
Self-harm and eating disorders can overlap in complex and distressing ways. This introductory video helps parents and carers understand the relationship between them, the different forms self-harm may take and why these behaviours can appear or change during different stages of an eating-disorder journey.
Using practical examples, Jenny Langley also explores co-existing challenges such as anxiety, compulsive exercise, perfectionism and neurodivergence. The aim is to help carers look beyond the behaviour, respond with greater understanding and consider appropriate sources of support.
