A Personal Story of Recovery from an Eating Disorder

About this event

Hope Virgo, UK author and campaigner for people with eating disorders, will speak to EDFA's parent/carer community about her personal journey of recovery from an eating disorder and the work she now does in the global eating disorder space.

Through her talks, Hope helps young people and employers (including schools, hospitals and businesses) deal with the rising tide of mental health issues.

In 2018, Hope launched #DumpTheScales which called on the UK government to stop using BMI as the primary measure to determine whether someone with an eating disorder would qualify for NHS support. Hope now works closely with the government on policy and best practice.

The session will include a 30-minutes Q&A with Hope and the audience.

For EDFA members only. As from 1st July 2023, membership is $35 Single / $55 Family.  Membership gives access to monthly online state-based strive carer support groups, twice-monthly EDucation webinars, an in-house library of 160+ eating disorder webinar recordings, Australian services lists for families and more.
