How do you help someone with ARFID?

Supporting someone with ARFID requires understanding, patience, and professional help. You can:

  • Encourage but avoid pressuring them to eat new foods
  • Provide safe and familiar foods while working on gradual variety
  • Involve professionals like dietitians, psychologists, and occupational therapists
  • Recognise it is an eating disorder, not just fussy eating
In Australia, families play a key role in reinforcing therapy strategies at home and creating positive eating environments.
