Fantastic point by @KatieHorneshaw on last night's @insightSBS 'Living with Addiction' — "we criminalise people essentially for trying to treat their own pain." Episode link below. #HealthNotHarm
We're excited to celebrate Australia’s national week for eating disorder awareness with @Bfoundation, @EDQ_ED and @edf_aust!
This #BIEDAW, recognising the signs of an eating disorder and the importance of early intervention is the focus of all organisations across the sector.
1 in 4 Australians believe eating disorders are a choice, & people 'could stop their behaviour if they really wanted to'. This is false, causes shame & stops people getting support. #EatingDisorders are not a choice. They are severe, psychological illnesses. #MentalHealth
