Become a Friend of Butterfly
The Butterfly Foundation's 'Friends of Butterfly' consists of sufferers, carers, donors and other supporters and was created in order to harness the passion and voice of these people as advocates and to provide an avenue through which their needs and wishes are heard.
As a powerful and passionate community group we can help ensure that sufferers and carers seek and receive the treatment and support they need to recover and be free from an eating disorder. Together, this can be achieved by:
- Raising awareness and understanding of eating disorders in the community
- Advocating for more compassion, empathy and respest from health service provision and the wider community
- Reducing the negative stigma which contributes to the hardship faced by sufferers and carers
- Removing barriers to recovery of sufferers by encouraging sufferers and carers to seek appropriate help and treatment
- Advocating for the enhancement of eating disorder services
- Coming together to share experiences and stories, to listen and to support each other
- Raising funds to support Direct Relief
As a 'Friend of Butterfly' you can be involved in many different ways. Click here to join the 'Friends of Butterfly' and learn how you can become part of the Butterfly team!
