About the Project

HEALTH UP! focuses on:

  • Educating VET teachers about eating disorders—both formally and practically.

  • Promoting early identification and classroom prevention activities.

  • Fostering healthier student habits through education, social and physical engagement, and digital tools.

Coming soon:

  • A Guide to Eating Disorders with clear, pedagogically designed content, practical prevention techniques, and European-level contact points.

  • Two Workshop Manuals (one on nutrition, one on mental health, social and physical activity) with classroom, at-home, and app-based activities.

  • An engaging, user-friendly App to support healthy practices among VET students.

What’s Needed

As part of Work Package 2 (WP2), EFAD is seeking two dietitians with specialisation or expertise in eating disorders to voluntarily review the educational guide. Your feedback will help ensure that the guide:

  • Accurately reflects the science and lived experience behind eating disorders.

  • Provides meaningful, appropriate support to VET educators and students.

  • Maintains sensitivity around mental health while offering practical, actionable prevention tools.

All contributions will be acknowledged and credited.

📌 Interested?

Please send an email to communications@efad.org by April 28th with:

  • Your expression of interest
  • A few lines about your expertise or experience related to eating disorders (e.g., clinical practice, research, or training experience)
