Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2020

Today is the start of Eating Disorders Awareness Week which runs from the 2nd to the 8th March 2020. It is heavily supported by BEAT, the UK's Eating Disorder Charity who have a lot of supporting material and resources which are all available to you all as carers.
