Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2019

IT'S EATING DISORDERS AWARENESS WEEK 2019


It's Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2019! This theme this is stereotypes and even since we started 9 years ago now, Talking EDs have been trying to challenge eating disorder stereotypes whenever and wherever we go. 

So, this year, we are distributing our updated 'myth-busting' leaflets and posters to companies, EAPs, colleges, universities, gyms and more.

In addition our regular therapy and counselling clients, we are offering some free 1-hour drop-in sessions with one of our therapists.

We were asked to do an interview with BBC Radio Scotland on eating disorder, however, it clashed with other work we are doing, so we hope to do this at a future date.
We will be posting on our various social media accounts too this week and having discussion about eating disorder when we can.

What will you be doing to promote Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2019? Please do let is know!

Have a look at Beat's film below about EDs and stereotypes too.
