Anorexia and Bulimia in the Family / Family Matters (PDF)

Gráinne Smith has worked for several years on the
Eating Disorder Association helpline as a volunteer, putting to
good use her training and experience as a former Samaritan. During
that time she has spoken to hundreds of carers and sufferers as
well as to many professionals.

A founder member, now chairperson, of NEEDS Scotland (North East
Eating Disorder Support) and a member of the Mental Health group
that developed the Scottish Executive Health Department framework
document for eating disorders services in Scotland, she has also
taken part in Mental Health and Well-being Support Group visits to
health boards and presented a petition on eating disorders to the
Scottish Executive. She currently works to raise awareness of how
poor mental health affects whole families while good mental health
underpins physical well-being.

During a long career in primary education, including nine years as
head teacher of Fyvie Nursery and Primary School, Aberdeenshire,
she enjoyed working with whole families and children aged from 3 to
12. As a writer, Gráinne has had short stories and poems
published in magazines and anthologies; while working with Grampian
Region she helped write and present courses for teachers and head
teachers; she has also written many educational materials including
coordinating and contributing to the pack ''Fyvie
Castle - Its Life and Legends''.
