Earlier this year during ‘Eating Disorder Awareness Week’ Kel joined us for a drop in sessions in which we discussed important news in the eating disorder field and answered related questions from the audience. The feedback was that participants enjoyed the format and so we are bringing it back again for World Eating Disorder Action Day!
World Eating Disorder Action Day is a global day of action set to “unite eating disorder activists, professionals, parents/carers and those personally affected to promote worldwide knowledge of eating disorders and the need for comprehensive treatment.”
2022 marks the 7th year of action and this time the designated theme is ‘Caring For Carers’, putting the spotlight on all of those who care for or support someone with an Eating Disorder.
