Thanks to you, we are one of the UK's biggest funders of eating disorders research.💚 However, research into these serious illnesses is still far too underfunded, receiving just 1% of all mental health research funding. See how you can support our work: bit.ly/3OZiPFC #EatingDisordersAwarenessWeek

Eating disorders remain among the least funded areas of mental health research, despite affecting 1.25 million people and accounting for 9% of those with a mental health condition in the UK. 📈 This #EatingDisordersAwarenessWeek, learn how you can support vital research in this area: bit.ly/3OZiPFC

Eating disorders can affect anybody, from any age, sex, gender, and background. Yet limiting stereotypes still exist about who can be affected by eating disorders. #eatingdisordersawarenessweek #EDAW youtu.be/JBmOI8xKAc8?...

Eating disorders typically develop during adolescence or emerging adulthood — where people are vulnerable to loneliness. @medresfdn.bsky.social has funded @basakince.bsky.social to inform the development of assessment and treatment approaches www.medicalresearchfoundation.org.uk/projects/lon...

Eating disorders occur across the weight spectrum, yet people in larger bodies often face extra barriers when trying to get their eating disorder recognised and treated. youtu.be/zadJqBBfx-s #eatingdisordersawarenessweek #EDAW
