ED’s don’t discriminate so our services & systems need 2B ‘Inclusive By Design’. Hear more London Eating Disorders Conference #LEDC2024 #EatingDisorderAwarenessWeek

The theme of this year's #EDAW2024 is ARFID, but what is ARFID? ARFID, or "Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder", is an eating disorder that is characterised by an avoidance of certain foods and/or a restriction in the amount of food eaten.

Introducing.... ANCHOR ⚓ Our new support programme. Anchor is for parents/carers of young people aged 5-17 who have an ARFID diagnosis or are displaying ARFID behaviours. It’s a safe space – somewhere where parents/carers can go to talk about how they’re feeling.

EDAW Day 3 BWC NHS Trust. Today we’re taking a moment 4 our parents, carers & supporters. We see the impact of that ‘unwelcome guest’ in your homes/relationships & how important it is for you also to treat yourself with compassion & care. Hold on2 hope. #eatingdisorderawarenessweeek

Why work in the area of eating disorders? 🧵I work in this area because I passionately believe people can recover. Every day, I have the privilege of seeing lives changed and transformed. I work in teams that build hope, who strive to understand and empower those they work with.

Final #EDAW2024 day 4us BWC NHS Trust SEDS but we know this is about putting in the work beyond awareness weeks 2keep learning & innovating 2ensure access 2effective treatment 4all. Ending the week with our constant motivation & inspiration-the transformative power of recovery & hope

This is also highly relevant to eating disorders. People are fighting their biology. Poor response to treatment is not the result of a lack of motivation. We need to fight stigma together.
