WELCOME TO
Kick Rexi Out
" Families compassionately supported, guided and able to help kick anoREXIa out"
KRO supports families across York and North Yorkshire practically, emotionally and financially so they can best support themselves and their young people who are fighting anorexia.
We educate parents and those who work with young people about how to spot and support those with anorexia, to aid early diagnosis and better recovery.
We collaborate with healthcare professionals to be the voice of lived experience, ensuring patient and family experiences remain at the heart of healthcare services
Our Story -
About Us
We formed in 2022 after caring for a young person living with anorexia.
Through our lived experience we quickly learnt the huge impact eating disorders have. It not only affects the person with the illness but the whole family is significantly affected. The impact is widespread and without a solid network of support around you, you can often feel isolated and alone.
It was through our passion for change, the need for improved support and wanting to raise awareness about eating disorders, that Kick Rexi Out was formed.
We want to help other families who also find themselves in such awful time. No one should suffer alone.
If you think we can support you or anyone you know, please, please, don’t hesitate to get in contact with us. We are here.
