Joint Committee On Health
Eating Disorders: Bodywhys
Ms Jacinta Hastings:
From our own organisation as a national support service, we would work very closely with similar organisations, for example, Beat in the UK. The Butterfly Foundation in Australia would be a very good model of good practice and, again, we work very closely with it. We share documentation and we have actually modelled some of its good practice here. It has given us permission to reproduce some of its documentation. The Butterfly Foundation would possibly be the one and also the National Eating Disorders Association in the US. We all work very closely together internationally. If there are any lessons to be learned from each other, there is sharing and co-production, which is very welcome.
