Challenge Newsletter Summer 2026: Understanding Pica
Read the Summer 2026 edition of our newsletter Challenge
Welcome to our Summer 2026 edition of Challenge – Understanding Pica. Pica is when someone eats or drinks items or substances that aren’t food and don’t have any nutritional value, such as stones, fabric, or small objects.
We share the first look of our new resource, the latest developments on two CBF projects, updates from our policy work and hear from a family carer supporting two relatives with pica.
Thank you to the families and professionals who have contributed to this edition.
