10 Oct 2023
About the event
This regional event will raise awareness of eating disorders; hearing from experts by profession and lived experience. Alongside learning more about eating disorders; it will provide information on accessing the support services and resources provided by Beat in the area to help attendees support those living with or supporting someone with an eating disorder. It is aimed at healthcare professionals; commissioners; third sector staff; school professionals and carers; and will also provide opportunities to network and share experiences.
Beat is the UK’s eating disorder charity.
Beat’s vision is that eating disorders will be overcome.
Beat’s aims are:
• To change the way everyone thinks and talks about eating disorders
• To improve the way services and treatment are provided
• And to help anyone believe that their eating disorder can be overcome
We do this by:
• Challenging the stereotypes and stigma that people with eating disorders face
• Campaigning for better services and treatment
• Providing information, support and encouragement to seek treatment and recovery
