Caraline Caraline is a Charity, funded by NHS Luton & Bedfordshire to provide support to those living with an eating disorder as well as their friends and families.

https://www.justgiving.com/campaign/caralineonegift Vision:
Caraline is committed to promoting understanding and insight into the issues faced by people living with eating disorders. We offer support to individuals and their carers. We do this by offering a range of support services using evidence based therapy which includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Enhanced Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT-e) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy Ten (CBT-t). Therapy is provided in either group work programmes or individual sessions. We believe that understanding promotes recovery.

You don’t have to look unwell to be struggling.

Eating disorders don’t always have visible signs.
Someone may appear happy, healthy and confident on the outside while facing an overwhelming battle on the inside.
Eating disorders can affect anyone, regardless of their age, gender, ethnicity, body shape or size.

You don’t have to prove you’re struggling to deserve support.

At Caraline, we believe every experience deserves to be heard, understood and treated with compassion.

đź’Ś If you or someone you know is struggling, reach out to us at [email protected].

Because eating disorders don’t have one face.

This World Mental Health Day, we’re reminding ourselves that not every struggle is visible. 💛

Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions, and they can affect people of every age, gender, ethnicity, background and body size.

Sometimes support begins with something simple: listening, believing someone, and being there without judgement.

This , let’s make space for conversations that may be difficult to see from the outside.

đź’™ Men can have eating disorders too.
Eating disorders don’t have one face, and they certainly don’t have one gender.
Too often, men and boys struggle in silence because of stigma, stereotypes and the fear of being misunderstood.
It’s time to change the conversation. Every experience deserves to be recognised, heard and supported. 💗

MYTH vs REALITY đź’­ | Can you tell if someone has an eating disorder by looking at them?

The answer is no — and this is an important misconception to challenge.

Eating disorders are serious mental health conditions, and they can affect people across a wide range of body sizes. A person does not need to appear underweight or visibly unwell to be experiencing an eating disorder or to need support.

They can also affect people of any gender, age, ethnicity or background. This is one of the reasons relying on appearance can be harmful — someone’s struggle may go unnoticed because they don’t fit the image people expect an eating disorder to have.

There are many different eating disorders, and people’s experiences, symptoms and behaviours can look very different.

Instead of asking “Do they look like they have an eating disorder?”, perhaps we should be asking:

“How are they really doing?”

💙 Eating disorders don’t have one face.

If you’re worried about yourself or someone you care about, reaching out and talking to someone can be an important first step.

Eating disorders don’t have one face. 💙 Che Lingo

For Black History Month, Caraline is making space for Black voices and lived experiences within conversations about eating disorders.
Eating disorders can affect anyone, regardless of race, culture, gender or background, but not everyone sees themselves represented in the stories and conversations surrounding them.

Today, we’re highlighting British rapper Che Lingo, who has spoken openly about his experience with bulimia and why he felt it was important to speak about it.

💬 “It’s definitely something that I felt I needed to talk about.” — Che Lingo

His story is an important reminder that eating disorders don’t have one face — and that men, including Black men, are part of this conversation too.
Representation matters. Every experience deserves to be heard.

If you or someone you care about is struggling, Caraline is here to listen.
