Joint Committee On Health

Eating Disorders: Bodywhys

Ms Kathy Downes:

The more men who speak up and talk about it publicly seems to allow other young or adult males to come forward. We are endeavouring to set up a male-only online support group that will launch at the end of June. We also have men who attend our online groups, but that would be a place where men who are thinking whether they have an eating disorder could feel a bit safer.
