Resilience tips for carers with EDFA Ambassador Hugh van Cuylenburg

Resilience tips for carers with EDFA Ambassador Hugh van Cuylenburg


If you want to know how to build your resilience when caring for a loved one with an eating disorder then this is the Strong Enough podcast episode for you.


Our guest Hugh van Cuylenburg is one of the hosts of Australia’s most beloved podcasts “The Imperfects” and he runs The Resilience Project a national program teaching practical wellbeing strategies to build mental health resilience in the community.


But Hugh has also walked in your shoes and has seen the challenges firsthand of caring for someone with an eating disorder, after his sister was diagnosed with anorexia as a teenager.


Hugh talks about resilience, empathy, mindfulness and … yes … even the importance of gratitude when you are a carer. He has plenty of tips and ideas to help people cope as a caregiver or in a caring role.


He is also encouraging families to join EDFA’s Sibling Support group. "It would’ve been incredible to have a group where I could talk to other siblings going through the same stuff, with the guidance of an expert. It would’ve been completely life changing," says Hugh.
