Eating disorders can have a devastating impact on the lives of sufferers and the people around them. Beat’s vision is an end to the pain and suffering caused by these serious mental illnesses. Campaign with us and help make that vision a reality.
To bring about positive change, we need to encourage a compassionate, understanding society where people feel able to talk about their illness. We need to ensure that everyone knows how to spot the early symptoms, equip healthcare professionals with the knowledge to make a fast referral, and establish funding so that everyone can get the treatment they need as quickly as possible. In everything we do, we focus on early treatment – we know that the faster someone can access treatment for their eating disorder, the better their chance of a full and sustained recovery.
It means that there’s a lot of work to be done, and we can’t do it without your help.
It’s important that whoever is elected hears from their constituents and understands why it’s vital that people with eating disorders get help quickly. We’re asking you to call for their support in ensuring eating disorders are identified early, and people of all ages can get high quality treatment as soon as they need it.
This Eating Disorders Awareness Week we aim to start conversations, raise funds and change lives. But how do we have those conversations that will start to change lives? This webinar will be the first in a series exploring the what, why, who and how of campaigning.
