During Eating Disorder Awareness Week, it’s crucial to acknowledge that these challenges can affect anyone in our networks. Professional, qualified counsellors who are trained to support individuals with eating disorders provide a space of understanding and empathy. If you or someone you know is struggling, help is available. https://lnkd.in/e9mfDWzX #EDAW #LeoneCentre #EatingDisorderAwareness

Often in The Recovery Cwtch, I ask parents to bring a win, a challenge and a desire, to discuss on our calls. This allows you to look at what is going well, explore what feels like the best way to tackle the things that are difficult and work out how to create the outcomes you want. This is done in a safe space where you can show up however you feel without judgement. You get some time out for yourself and a group of people who understand what you are going through. If you are feeling stuck, isolated or confused about how to best help your child with an eating disorder, then check out The Recovery Cwtch here: https://lnkd.in/eQB_EDJP Only £45 a month, no tie-in, give it a go. #eatingdisorders #eatingdisorderrecovery #hope

Did you know every 52 minutes someone loses their life to an eating disorder in the US alone? In this weeks ABCs of EAPs series we tackle E for Eating Disorders. Many individuals struggle silently, feeling they don’t fit society's narrow beauty standards, making it even harder for them to seek help. Astonishingly, studies show that approximately 70% of those affected by eating disorders don't seek treatment. These are statistics that shouldn't be ignored. And neither should seeking help. It's time to break the silence and have the resources in place to make a difference. #eatingdisorderawareness #eap #mentalhealth #shattersilence

Whether an eating disorder creeps in on your family slowly or suddenly, it is disorientating. For me along with the wave of how, why, and what have we done wrong came the vital question of what do I need to do? Knowledge can come from many sources, and I am pleased to say there are far more options than when our daughter was ill. Though still not enough, there are more professionals with an understanding of eating disorders along with websites, books, Facebook groups and a few courses. I recommend finding what resonates with you. Knowledge and understanding help us to cope better with the situation, and there are vital skills that we need to help support our child’s recovery. If you are struggling to know where to start then DM me and let’s chat. #hope #eatingdisorderrecovery #helpwitheatingdisorder
