Ruth Steggles - Our journey with Anorexia and how a parent can be part of their child’s recovery

Zena Le Roux Season 1 Episode 20

In our latest HCA Talks Health episode our host, Zena le Roux, holds a heartfelt conversation with the remarkable Ruth Steggles, who shares her powerful, personal story of helping her daughter’s battle with Anorexia.

As we approach #EatingDisorderAwarenessWeek (26th Feb), Ruth's poignant journey becomes even more relevant and significant. Her experience led her to write the book ‘Our Journey with Anorexia – how a parent can be part of their child’s recovery’, which sheds light on the challenges that parents face when their child is diagnosed with an eating disorder, including the tendency to blame themselves.

Ruth very kindly provides practical tips and guidance for parents on where to start, as well as hope, support and valuable insights on how to be a supportive and integral part of their child’s recovery journey.
