VACANCY: Commitee Members for the Eating Disorder Therapist Networking Group
(
UK-wide applications accepted)
 
Hello,


Talking EDs (Eating Disorder Support Service Scotland) are pleased to say that we have some volunteering vacancies available with the non-profit, voluntary arm of our business, the Eating Disorder Therapist Networking Group. Please see the attached Information Sheet which offers details about what the Eating Disorder Therapist Networking Group is.

Before we open up membership of the Eating Disorder Therapist Networking Group to the public, we are looking to assemble a small group of volunteers who will be part of the Planning Group Committee. This is a great opportunity to volunteer 2-3 hours per month while meeting new people, developing new skills and knowledge and gaining experience in the eating disorder field and in planning and organising meetings and events.

If you are interested in becoming a Committee Member on the Planning Group, please get in touch for a  Role Description and Application Form. We will then organise an informal chat with those who would like to be on the Committee. References will only be contacted if you have been offered the role and have accepted it.

As this is a Committe Role, we do have to complete applications and have informal chats following application to ensure we secure volunteers who are the right fit for the role.

AFFILIATES: If you are an affiliate working for any my 3 practices, please just send me a note of interest in the role - we don't have to do applications and we will just organise a quick chat.

Closing date for applications: Friday 10th September 2021, 5pm
Informal interviews: 1-2 weeks following the closing date

Due to COVID-19, interview will currently take place online, via Zoom.

Although we are based in Scotland, we welcome anyone in the UK to apply for this committee role as you can join our meetings online (if some of us meet in person).

If selected, the induction will be online. We are looking to assemble a committee sooner than later so we can re-launch the networking (with it's new name) and start recruiting members and hosting meetings/events.  to start the role soon after the interviews.

If you are still interested  in this role, please have a read of the attached Role Description and send the completed Application Form and Personal Statement to this email address by the closing date

If you have any questions, need any more information or would like to apply, please feel free to get in touch. Similarly, if you know of anyone who might be interested in  applying as a Committee Member or joining as a Registered Member in the future, they are very welcome to get in touch with us. Thanks for your time and interest in Talking ED and the Eating Disorder Theraist Networking Group. We look forward to hearing from you. 
 
Best wishes,
 
Alexandra

Focus on..... Binge Eating Disorder

  Focus on..... Binge Eating Disorder (BED)   Binge Eating Disorder or BED is often characterised by someone consuming very large amounts of food over short period of time, even if they are not hungry. Although, we often see another form of binge eating that is characterised by an almost constant 'grazing' of food, which may amount to a large volume of food over time. BED is almost 2x as common in women than in men, although gender differences are less pronounced than in Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa. BED has been found is all cultures and ethnicities. BED was formally classified in 2014 as distinct Eating Disorder and now has formal classification in DSM-5. Keeping in mind that everyone experiencing BED is different and BED may present differently (we are all different and unique, after all!), some of the signs and symptoms of BED include: * Feeling out-of-control when eating during a binge episode. * Often hiding food (before it has been eaten or hiding empty packets a

BODY IMAGE AND BODY DYSMORPHIC DISORDER: What is it?

BODY IMAGE AND BODY DYSMORPHIC DISORDER As we said yesterday, this week in Mental Health Awareness Week 2019. This is a national awareness week and the theme this year is Body Image. See Monday's post to see what we are doing this week. We will also be posting everyday this week on Facebook, Twitter and the blog about Body Image and BDD (Body Dysmorphic Disorder). Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), or body dysmorphia, is a mental health condition related to Body Image where a person spends a lot of time worrying about flaws in their appearance. These flaws are often unnoticeable to others. People of any age can have BDD and it affects anyone of any gender or sex. Having BDD does not mean you are vain or self-obsessed. It can be very upsetting and have a big impact on your life. Low mood, anxiety, emotional dysregulation, stress, trauma, self-harm and eating disorders are some of the other conditions that can co-occur with BDD. Some o
