It originated in the U.S and has been adapted for Australian audiences by the Australian writing team listed. The program helps open the conversation about eating disorders by showing one girl's struggle and her friends and family's determination to understand and help. The play gives sufferers a voice while at the same time encouraging them to seek help. It also seeks to engage the friends and family members of those who are ill. An integral part of the program is a local panel who can provide advice on where to seek help.
