Dóchas - Eating Disorders
from Dóchas Podcast by the Irish Support Agency Hosted by Una McCrossan
On Monday 10th October, on World Mental Health Day, we explored eating disorders, in all of their complexity. We were delighted to be joined by Kate Mulray from The Butterfly Foundation. The Butterfly Foundation is the national charity for all Australians impacted by eating disorders and body image issues, and for the families, friends and communities who support them. We were also joined by Jane Murphy, who has experience of living with an eating disorder and we are entirely grateful to her for sharing her story. We spoke about what eating disorders are, some of the myths associated with them and we discussed accessing support in the healthcare system. This was a really informative discussion, and we would encourage you all to take a listen. Content Warning: We discuss eating disorders and there will be mentions of suicide and mortality. If any of the content makes you feel uncomfortable or upset then Butterfly has a national helpline that you can contact from 8am-midnight, 7 days per week on 1800 ED HOPE (1800 33 4673). www.butterfly.org.au
