This clip of a mother’s view is excruciatingly painful to hear and filled with beauty and hope. Caring for a child with mental health issues can be all of these  things. My role doesn’t involve working directly with people living with eating disorders due to the need for a multidisciplinary approach to treatment. I do, however, offer support to parents and carers. Exploring the journey, your feelings and the frustrations on the way, can be a lifeline and benefit the parent-child relationship at a crucial time.
