What is Care & Share?
'Care & Share' is Eating Disorders Victoria's online community for families, friends and partners of people with eating disorders. The Care & Share forum has a live chat room to share stories, experiences and knowledge, give and receive support and feel less isolated in a safe environment. Chat sessions are open fortnightly - see the Events page for times of all sessions. All chat room sessions are moderated by EDV trained volunteers or staff.
Please note Care & Share is not a counselling or crisis management service.
A message for Care and Share users
We realise how important it is for you to have a reliable chat room and we recognise that there have been a few technical problems with the mc2 site over the past couple of months. For this reason we have decided to switch from the mc2 technology to the service that people with an eating disorder are currently using (Recovery Chat Room). We anticipate that this setup will run more smoothly.
This means that you will temporarily not be able to access our online chat room until our new and improved chat room is up and running. We don't expect this will take a long time and we will definitely inform you when it is ready. We will also let you know how to gain access.
Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any concerns during this transition period
1300 550 236 or email help@eatingdisorders.org.au
