First Steps ED

First Steps ED has been at the forefront of improving the lives of people from all ages and genders impacted by eating difficulties and eating disorders and has built a reputation as the Midlands provider of choice in our communities through the strong reputation and dedicated team of staff and volunteers many having a lived experience. We are experts by experience, a quality-assured, research-based organisation and a leading light working as an integrated partner in the health and education environments. Founded in 2004, our compassionate team supported by a strong board of Trustees and extended network of volunteers and academics have built up our reputation having supported many thousands of citizens, their families and professionals trusting us to bring hope, opportunities, and choices to lives impacted by eating difficulties and disorders. We are trailblazers in innovative service redesign, continuously benchmarking ourselves against the best eating disorders service models world-wide to ensure that the local people who approach us for help, receive evidence-based care, support and the real possibility that recovery is achievable and that people are no longer defined by their illness.
