Help for
young people

Are you worried that you might have an eating disorder?

Sometimes it’s hard to know when to ask for help.

It looks like you may need some additional support.

Eating disorders are serious, life-threatening conditions. Give yourself the best possible chance of recovery by seeing someone early.

Getting Help

Due an unprecedented increase in referrals since the pandemic, self-referrals to our service from young people, parents, or carers are temporarily suspended for all eating disorders except ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder).

If you are under 18, or the parent/carer of a young person under 18, live in the boroughs of Lewisham, Bromley, Southwark, Greenwich, Croydon, Bexley or Lambeth and wish to make a self-referral for possible ARFID, please send us your contact email address via: ARFIDSelfReferrals@slam.nhs.uk.

For all other eating disorders, please seek a referral from your GP or other healthcare professional.

If you’re unsure about whether you should be worried, please contact your GP or other healthcare professional.
