Jenny Langley

Jenny is one of the UK’s leading carer’s experts in eating disorders. 

Jenny’s passion to help other families evolved from her own experience of caring for her son when he developed anorexia at the age of 12. He is now fully recovered and as a first step she wrote Boys Get Anorexia Too. 

Jenny is also one of the lead authors, alongside Prof Janet Treasure, of the New Maudsley Training manual for eating disorders, an internationally recognised and evidence-based programme for carers. 

Jenny was awarded Carer Contributor of the Year 2016 by the Royal College of Psychiatrists in the UK  in recognition of her ongoing work with carers, eating disorder services and in the wider community particularly focusing on preventative work in schools
