Eating Disorders Awareness Week 27th February to 5th March 2017.

Eating Disorders Awareness Week is an international awareness event, fighting the myths and misunderstandings that surround eating disorders. This year, Beat’s (Beating Eating Disorders) Eating Disorders Awareness Week activities will focus on early intervention, a key part of Beat’s work – the earlier someone can enter treatment for an eating disorder, the greater their chance of recovery.
Taking the first step towards recovery is often a difficult one. Beat want to ensure that people have the support they need to take that step, and get the care they deserve when they do.
So throughout Eating Disorders Awareness Week and beyond, Beat’s aim is to educate both healthcare professionals and the wider public about eating disorders so that they’re equipped to help if a patient or someone they know is suffering. Beat will be launching a campaign to help people recognise the signs of these illnesses so that they can help the people around them.
