GEDS EDAW 2014
Eating Disorder Awareness Week's 2014 theme was WORDS MATTER which explored the helpful and unhelpful messages that our members have heard from professionals, family and friends during their experience of disordered eating. Throughout the week in February 2014 GEDS posted these comments which our members bravely contributed along with explanations of how they reacted to these comments and the effect they had.
It is our hope that through their experiences we can all become more aware of the way we interact with clients, service users, friends and family that may be affected by these issues and be conscious of the messages we give.
