The book shares deeply personal stories from families across Australia, offering insight into the challenges, resilience and strength that define their journeys. By amplifying these voices, EDFA continues its mission to ensure that carers and families are recognised as a vital part of the recovery landscape.

Hosting the launch at Parliament House provided a powerful platform to engage decision-makers and highlight the need for greater support services, education and resources for those navigating eating disorders. The event underscored the importance of listening to lived experience in shaping more compassionate and effective responses at both community and policy levels.

Strong Enough not only raises awareness but also fosters connection — reminding families that they are not alone in their experiences. Through storytelling, advocacy and community-building, EDFA continues to strengthen support networks and drive meaningful change.

The launch marks an important step forward in elevating the voices of families and carers, helping to build a future where they are better supported, better understood and empowered throughout the recovery journey.
