Story
Millions of people every year are impacted by Eating Disorders. Research shows that there are approximately 1.25 million sufferers, however those working in the field suggest that due to the secretive nature of an eating disorder they estimate that figure to be closer to 3-4 million people.
These statistics are staggering. Figures that are individual people, whose lives are being ruined day by day, and often left with little help or understanding as to what they are actually going through.
With the evident increase in ill mental health amongst young people, with the constant comparisons young people face each day through peer groups and social media, it is highly likely that disordered eating and eating disorders will continue to increase also.
We simply want to be able to helpfully and informatively feed into the education around Eating Disorders. It is said that people often perish because of lack of knowledge. Let that not be true when it comes to information around eating disorders now or in the future!
Our hope and aspiration is that all young people and parents will have the resources to understand what an eating disorder is, to identify its nature, and to have helpful preventative tools so that they can live their life to its full potential.
