Eating Disorder Awareness Week

Not just women and girls.

Last week was Eating Disorder Awareness week. Eating disorders affect young men and as well as young women, 25% of people who have an eating disorder are male. Watch the video to find out more and raise your awareness of this important issue.

Of course girls and young women also need support with this difficult mental health issue, but the boys rarely get mentioned so that’s why this years campaign focussed on them.

If you, or anyone you know is struggling with their relationship with food and eating speak to a trusted adult and get some support.
