Eating Disorders Awareness Week

1.25 million people in the UK are living with an eating disorder right now.

Yet behind every one is a network of friends and family supporting them. This adds up to 5 million people struggling to cope with eating disorders.

Eating disorders are complex mental illnesses and those caring for someone with an eating disorder are often left without the support and information they need to help their loved one towards recovery. Eating Disorders Awareness Week is the international event for raising awareness and understanding of eating disorders, challenging stereotypes and stigmas.

We've produced an article discussing the support that is available for people living with an eating disorder, which you can read about here.
