Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2023

Eating disorders are complex mental illnesses. If you have an eating disorder you will have an unhealthy relationship with food: this may be eating too much or too little food, or eating a lot of food in one sitting, or using food to try to manage feelings. You may become obsessed with food and your eating patterns if you have an eating disorder. Anyone, no matter what their age, gender, ethnicity or background, can develop an eating disorder. Here are some links and information. Please speak to your GP if you have any concerns for yourself or others. www.educators-barnardos.org.uk
