Established in February 1994, CARALINE provides a confidential counselling and support service for people with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, compulsive over-eating and other eating disorders.

Our services are prioritised for the residents of Bedfordshire, however, requests for counselling and support from people with eating disorders and carers who live outside of the county are considered in accordance with individual need and the practical arrangements for effecting care.

Emphasis is placed upon engaging people with eating disorders within the early stages of their illness, with an overall aim of the service being to offer a comprehensive support package to sufferers, their families, and involved health-care professionals.

Where possible, people with eating disorders are supported within the community with the aim of minimizing the need for hospital admission, although support visits are made to those clients of CARALINE who are hospitalised.
