International research indicates that just 5% to 15% of people with eating disorders seek help; 85% report that it is hard to access treatment.... patients with eating disorders had a higher burden of morbidity, other mental health problems and mortality, according to study findings.
In an industry that celebrates fit and healthy crew, and how we look, body expectations are often high, but what does one do if “healthy” eating becomes obsessive or destructive? How do you start a conversation with someone on your team if you are worried? What’s the right time and place for these conversations and how you can support those going through and eating disorders and where to signpost for help, online and onshore?
