Yorkshire Centre for Eating Disorders.
It's now two years since our daughter was treated at the YCED. Since her discharge from the ward, she has made good progress overall but with relapses.
We are grateful to the service for the input she received to help her own recovery and she was supported by some very genuine and dedicated members of staff. The only contact that we as carers had with the ward staff was confusing and distressing but our daughter seemed to be doing well, so we went along with it because we did not want to jeopardise her recovery.
Now that we are stronger and with knowledge of other carers' experience in other places, we realise that the contact we had was unusual. More importantly we are very wary, as is our daughter, of being part of her ongoing treatment, despite the fact that we have been her main carers since discharge and despite new professionals encouraging it.
I sincerely hope that the approach has changed.
