1/15 Eating disorders in young people - the challenge?

The landscape of eating disorders (EDs) changed so much in a generation. The prevalence amongst 12 to 25 year olds is particularly worrying. As EDs themselves are multifactorial, the nature of the challenge is similar.

PARTICIPANTS NEEDED👀 We are looking for UK-based #ActuallyAutistic folks to take part in a one-to-one interview to help us explore how they feel about their body and certain eating styles

If interested, why not send me (an autistic researcher) an email at [email protected]

What is the difference between a poor leader and a strong one?

@maosalio @AgnesAyton Would love to see this research too

Ahead of #EatingDisorderAwarenessWeek, a little PSA from a friendly body image & ED prevention researcher 💁🏾‍♀️

📢 Side-by-side eating disorder recovery posts (namely photos of emaciated > still thin bodies) are *not* the awareness we need.

Here are two (of many) reasons why.

[Embodied Eating UK @embodied_eating]

Such a privilege to work with these brilliant teams from @UHSussex who are working incredibly hard to deliver compassionate care to all those with ED’s on their wards. Inspiring to hear about what they’ve put into practice since our last training #eatingdisorderawarenessweek

#Christmas can be a difficult time for those with #eatingdisorders. @beccagregson15 has created a pack for YP & families to take home; providing a 'go-to' resource that is based on the individualised conversations that are had in dietetic sessions #mentalhealth #camhs #dietitians

'....An individualized, patient-centered approach to estimating target body weight more accurately estimated target body weight than standardized,
median BMI approach. An individualized approach to treatment may improve a patient's likelihood of full recovery.'

Excited to share that I’ll be joining @KingsNursing on a @THIS_Institute PhD fellowship to research NG Feeding under restraint & to co-design dining room support with patients & ppl with lived experience. The project builds on our work at Brighton & Hove Clinic. Watch this space!

[Helen West RD @HelenlouWest]

We’re expanding our team!

Brighton & Hove Clinic is collaborating with KCL in a project to improve knowledge of NG Feeding under restraint & dining room support

'...PH strategies to ⬇️burden of EDs are likely cost saving. Prevention that promotes healthy nutrition, physical activity, and media use of behaviors without introducing weight stigma may prevent additional negative health outcomes'

Some Monday musings on #eatingdisorders @embodied_eating 👇

[Sharleen Woods MSc PgDip RD @Sharleen_RD]

@embodied_eating Language around food, bodies & health; because what we say matters & especially from positions of 'professionalism' (education/health, etc). Move away from judgemental language, be aware of personal & professional bias & introduce curosity (just as a starter 😄)

[Embodied Eating UK @embodied_eating]

@Sharleen_RD 🙌 Yep. We have whole sections on this Sharleen 💕

🧵Thread: What does Embodied Eating do, and why do we do it?

The number of young ppl struggling with an ED has risen dramatically, leaving ED services overwhelmed, parents unsupported and non-specialist professionals picking up the pieces with little training.

We want to help

[Fiona Quigley @FionaQuigs]

More about the new training programmes in eating disorder support that we are offering with @HelenlouWest @sophiestarkpsy

We'd love to hear from anyone with views on what is needed for ED support training.

@embodied_eating ED care for fat patients is extremely lacking. Any ED specialists offering things like “weight management” is a 🚩 Great ED care includes fat practicioners with lived experience. Care should be mental health focussed, not physical health focussed
