Closely connected with providing therapy and support for young people with eating disorders during the world’s war against the Covid-19 is our patient-led theme, Treasure your Dreams which also came out of our Coping Corona theme. The theme is illustrated here by a 16-year-old outpatient who has helped to develop it and has found it helpful. Perhaps you will too as a guide to being positive and looking for a way through sadness.
