Hidden in plain sight- eating disorders
I wanted to write a personal blog today.
Mental health can impact in many ways, including eating disorders. People may not have the headline conditions such as anorexia or bulimia, but the impact of all conditions can deeply affect a persons life.
With over 4 Million people in the UK, you may find you’re working with someone or have a member of your team who may be affected.
I was fortunate to attend a networking meeting run by SB Hub last week, where the speaker was Gemma Oaten. You may know her as the TV actress from Emmerdale, Coronation Street and Holby City. She gave a very engaging talk about eating disorders which was enlightening. You can learn about her personal involvement at https://seed.charity/
Deborah Watson is a long standing client and she runs a local NFP which aims to bring communities together around this issue. You may like to visit her site to see how you might become involved https://wednesdayschild.co.uk/
Thanks to Sanjeev Bhavnani for hosting such a thought provoking meeting, which as raised this area of mental health on my radar.
