Encouraging students to talk openly about mental health and supporting Beat, the UK's eating disorder charity.

Take a read of this term's @uochester student news to learn about the support of @beatED and for some tips on how to support students suffering from #eatingdisorders #UoChester4Beat https://t.co/OJ5rSgQDCP

If you're suffering from a #mentalillness, remember that you are just as entitled to receive support as those with physical disabilities. There is no shame in asking for help #university

Suffering from an #eatingdisorder can be hugely isolating. Talking to someone and telling them that you're not ok can be terrifying, but it can be the first step towards you finding health and happiness #mentalhealth #recovery

[Beat @beatED]

If you have an #eatingdisorder, telling someone your concerns can be daunting. If you’re not sure who to speak to, think about who you could potentially talk to: trusted friends and family members, healthcare professionals, even teachers or colleagues. https://t.co/ZzEyTm8Jlc

[UoChester4Beat @UoChester4Beat]

Someone with an #eatingdisorder is not their illness. They are still a person, but their actions and decisions have become controlled by the ED voice. It is important to show them support in #recovery and not blame

Sometimes it can feel like life is a constant test, throwing you endless challenges. But always remember, the strength and resilience you need to overcome them is inside of you. It's just about finding it... #mentalhealth #recovery #selfcare

[UoChester4Beat @UoChester4Beat]

There is surely no better way to reconnect with the present moment than watching the waves crashing onto the shore or walking along the beach feeling the sand between your toes. Take time to appreciate the beauty of everything around you #selfcare #mindfulness #mentalhealth

[UoChester4Beat @UoChester4Beat]

Society constantly tells us to look or be a certain way. How about, for a few days, we just be who we truly are? Happiness does not lie in seeking ideals, it lies in accepting all your imperfections and flaws as they are what make you unique #MentalHealthMatters #selfacceptance

[UoChester4Beat @UoChester4Beat]

Have you ever wondered what goes on behind the camera? Next time you see a selfie, ask yourself whether everything is as it seems on the surface #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek #happybeingme #loveyourbody #bodypositive

[UoChester4Beat @UoChester4Beat]

How realistic are appearance ideals? Is society making us seek something that is always going to be out of reach? Just remember, beauty lies in your uniqueness and imperfections #mentalhealthawarenessweek2019 #loveyourbody @uochester @ChesterSU

[UoChester4Beat @UoChester4Beat]

We are all faced with images of 'idealistic' bodies on a daily basis. Take a moment to think about what ideals you perceive, and the impacts that seeking them have on your life #mentalhealthawarenessweek2019 #loveyourbody #bodyimage @uochester @ChesterSU

[Chester SU @ChesterSU]

A recent survey suggests as many as 80% of us struggle with negative thoughts about our body image. If you can relate, Nicole from @beatED is running a Love Your Body workshop from 12PM today that might be of help. Just pop into the SU around the start time to get signed up :)

[UoChester4Beat @UoChester4Beat]

You never have to struggle on alone with poor mental health. Even if people around you don't completely understand, just having someone to talk to can help reduce the isolation of suffering #MentalHealthMatters
