My daughter is studying abroad in Denmark, and her experience has triggered the worsening of “disordered eating” into an eating disorder. It’s not nearly as common there as it is here in the US. She has a therapist there, a nutritionist here, and a very willing and helpful host family. I was hoping I could help her host family (don’t need it monetarily, but more as a comfort to them) with a meal delivery like Daily Harvest, which is here in the US. Is there anything like that there?

FYI we’ll bring her back if it’s out of hand. We all have eyes on it. I more wish I could help, while she’s there.

Most likely this issue is not something that can be resolved by purchasing food packages or boxes. In general the quality of produce is quite good I Denmark and unless the host family is unable to purchase or prepare meals, you do not need those deliveries. Yes they are convenient and nice, but both the availability of supermarkets and the selection is fine. However, I do think the stress and pressure of living and studying abroad has worsened the underlying anxiety and control issues in your child. And a better way would be to ensure that she has someone to talk to. As someone points out Healthcare is free, but in particular mental care for teens do have a bit of a long lead in time, so a private option is perhaps something to be considered.
