Mental Health Awareness Day 2022

 

Monday 10th October is Mental Health Awareness Day

 
It's a chance for everyone to get into a conversation about mental health and ways to improve mental health and wellbeing. 
 
It's a chance to raise awareness of mental health conditions and get involved in the wider discussion about personal experiences around mental health.
 
It's a chance to share, work together, listen to each other and commit to improving the situation.
 
It's chance to have your voice count.
 
Today, we are providing free online drop-in therapy sessions with two of our therapists. We are also providing two talks to other companies today: one is a eating disorders myth-busting workshop; and the other is a workshop on how to improve mental health and wellbeing in the workplace. 
 
We all have a part to play today: whether it's asking someone how they really are or whether it's training up organisations to improve their corporate mental wellbeing policy.
 
Whatever the case may be, it's really important to keep the conversation about mental health and wellbeing alive.
 
Best wishes,
 
Alexandra

Focus on.... Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (or EDNOS)

Focus on.... EDNOS/OSFED Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified (or EDNOS) is now increasingly known as OSFED (Other Specified Feeding and Eating Disorder) accounts for the highest percentage of eating disorders. EDNOS/OSFED is just as serious and debilitating as any other form of eating disorder and needs to be taken more seriously. Unfortunately, however, in our experience, this is often not the case and many are not given appropriate treatment or support (whether from family, friends, professionals and others) and the condition can deteriorte and even change into another form of eating disorder. WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT EDNOS/OSFED? Then read on..... EDNOS/OSFED is the most commonly diagnosed eating disorder in clinical settings.

EDNOS/OSFED describes a form eating d...
