Ep 50: Identifying and supporting those with eating disorders in school settings - the Eating Disorder Toolkit

This week I am joined by Hope Virgo, Suzanna Samaka and Sharon White; three inspirational women involved in the development and promotion of The Eating Disorder Toolkits for school nurses, educators and carers. In this episode we discuss the Toolkits as well as ...

• the latest research on trends in eating disorder development
• why there can still be a taboo around eating disorders and what we can do to remove it
• empowering society to be able to speak about eating disorders
• how school nurses and other staff can have the right conversations around eating disorders
• the impact of social media on eating and body dissatisfaction
• campaigning and change at a political level
