To aid in the #prevention of eating disorders and body dissatisfaction, there is a need to change the way that society broadly speaks about health, food, minds and bodies.   💬 The National Eating Disorders Collaboration, in collaboration with La Trobe University, people with lived experience and their families, carers and supports, have developed a set of principles that will guide the ways that information about health, food, minds and body are provided to people across settings. The “Eating Disorder Safe Principles” will be launched on Wednesday 24 July, 12:00 - 1:00pm AEST, with a special webinar exploring the principles in-depth along with the Companion Document, ‘First Nations Perspectives: Strengthening the Eating Disorder Safe Principles.’ 🔗 Register for the launch and find further info below ⬇️ https://bit.ly/NEDCedSafe
