We've got a special Body Image and Eating Disorders Awareness Week episode of Candid Conversations for you! This year we're talking about the importance and challenges of early intervention with the theme, Know the Signs, Act Early.
We're joined by EDV Policy Officer Monique, EDV Stories of Recovery Ambassador Aisling and EDV Telehealth Nurse Gemma to discuss:
- What defines early intervention for EDs and how does it impact recovery
- How many people receive early help for their eating disorder (spoiler alert: not many!)
- How to navigate recovery without the benefit of early intervention (Aisling's recovery story)
- Factors inhibiting early intervention and overcoming these barriers
- Addressing systematic and cultural change to support early intervention
EDV recognises that everyone's situation is unique and there are many factors that impact help seeking - by no means can we cover it all in a single podcast episode. To discuss your unique situation, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us via our range of free Telehealth services
