BE BRIGHT AND BOLD FOR BEAT DURING EATING DISORDERS AWARENESS WEEK - FROM 28 FEBRUARY TO 06 MARCH 2022!
This year, we're highlighting the training we've created to support future GPs make the right referral for people with eating disorders, so that more people get the support they need sooner.
While this training is rolled out, our services are here for those who need support right now. We need you to be Bright and Bold for Eating Disorders Awareness Week so we can make sure no one faces an eating disorder alone.
When I first saw a doctor about my concerns about my relationship with food, I was dismissed based on weight. I was left to deteriorate before I received medical input. For me, Beats campaign on early intervention for eating disorders is crucial. I came up against a lot of unhelpful stigma which left me feeling hopeless. During this interim, Beat helped me so much by giving me someone to talk to and helping me realise that I wasnt as alone as anorexia made me feel. Iona, Beat fundraiser.
