Eating Disorder Awareness Week
This Eating Disorder Awareness Week (Monday 24 February - Sunday 2 March), the focus is on breaking stereotypes and highlighting that anyone can be affected by an eating disorder.

You probably know someone living with an eating disorder but you may not realise it. At least 1.25 million people in the UK - about 1 in 50 people - are living with an eating disorder. Eating disorders can affect anyone, regardless of age, background, or lifestyle.
Eating disorders are complex mental health conditions that don't just affect one person, but friends and family.
If you are concerned about your relationship with food and your body you should seek support from your GP. Please also be aware that the Centre for Wellbeing offers a range of pastoral services to ensure that our students feel well supported throughout their time at the University. We have a number of mental health practitioners who can support students with complex or chronic mental health conditions and an eating disorder specialist who can provide support, wherever you are on your journey to recovery.
