Eating Disorder Awareness Week (EDAW) Drop-in
It’s hard to believe another year has gone by but here we are again with our annual Eating Disorder Awareness Week Drop-in session with Kel O’Neill.
The year the topic for the awareness week is Eating Disorders in men. Around 1 in 4 people affected by Eating Disorders are men despite many thinking that Eating Disorders are mostly conditions effecting girls and women.
We’ll be using the drop-in session to discuss the latest EDAW related news and themes as well as to answer a few of your questions.
Just Kel and John (Onlinevents) for a relaxed session on this important topic.
