THE Butterfly Foundation, which supports people with eating disorders, is to get an injection of funds from the Federal Government enabling it to launch it's new 'National Agenda for Eating Disorders'.
The Foundation will receive $1.7 million to expand its national counselling service, ED Hope, which provides information and guidance on treatments and referral options to people affected as well as their family and friends seeking advice.
The Agenda aims to ensure there is a national approach to help people with the condition via a bank of information around what works, so people suffering from this disease can access the best treatment for their needs.
The Foundation will receive an additional $1.2 million over the next two years to improve the skills of counselling health professionals through the National Eating Disorders Collaboration.
