Eating Disorder Awareness Week 2020. This year b-eat, the UK based ED charity, have chosen to focus on the need for informed and empowered carers and supporters of those living with an Eating Disorder.
We used the live event as an opportunity to discuss the weeks press releases and important data that has been released. We also discussed how WE as part of the support system of those affected by Eating Disorders can be better informed and empowered in working with this client group.
