PESP is for family members, partners, carers or friends of a person with an eating disorder. PESP is a structured one-day workshop which aims to provide information about the nature of an eating disorder and recovery in order to help people gain a deeper understanding of what their loved one may be experiencing, acknowledge and strengthen communication within the family and the importance of personal self-care.
