This week is Body Image and Eating Disorder awareness week, which is a national week to raise awareness of body image concerns and eating disorders.

Body image is how you see your body’s physical characteristics and your attitude toward them - a healthy body image indicates that you feel comfortable in your skin and are generally positive about the way you look. A negative body image can make you feel self-conscious, shame and anxiety, and is one of the leading causes of eating disorder behaviours if left unchecked.

At Wandi Nerida we are very proud to be changing the way eating disorders are treated in Australia. Our unique model of care offers a program of holistic treatments in a home like environment where participants can envision recovery and establish a positive relationship with food.

If you have concerns about a loved one, or would just like more information about eating disorders, the important work that Wandi Nerida does, or information on the Butterfly Foundation and the important work they do, please use the following resources:
