Hi everyone, I just found another Carer Retreat near Coffs Harbour in NSW. It is called Joyland Carers Retreat and you can find them here.

Hi all!
We at Eating Disorders Victoria (EDV) agree that respite can be very helpful both for the carer and their loved one. Caring for someone can be mentally and physically exhausting, and it is important to remember to take time out to restore energy and manage your own emotions.
Sometimes caring for someone who has an Eating Disorder can feel like it is taking over your life. EDV provides both telephone support through our helpline and face-to-face support through our drop in service and support groups for family and friends of those who have an eating disorder. If you need support, please do not hesitate to contact our Helpline on 1300 550 236, or visit www.eatingdisorders.org.au
Best Wishes,
EDV
