Taking place between 24 February and 28 Feb 2014, Eating Disorders Awareness Week is a chance to raise awareness and understanding of eating disorders, challenge stereotypes and stigmas and raise funds for Student Minds Cardiff.
Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses affecting 1.6 million people in the UK ÔÇô they claim more lives than any other mental illness but are treatable and recovery is possible. The problem is awareness of eating disorders is too low ÔÇô can you help us change this? Student Minds Cardiff support students with Eating Disorders throughout their time at university by equipping students to bring about positive change at uni through campaigning and facilitating peer support groups.
We want to silence the stigma surrounding mental health and to foster an environment where everyone has the confidence to talk and listen to each other, and help to provide the skills to support one another and the knowledge to look after the mental health of ourselves and others. Check out out twitter @StudentMindsCDF and facebook: /studentmindscardiff for more information about what we do, and for information on when our groups run.
