✋It’s Eating Disorders Awareness Week.

This year’s theme, set by eating disorder charity Beat , focuses on the power of community and the vital role family, friends, and other support networks play in helping someone feel supported, understood, and never alone on their journey from seeking help to undergoing treatment and beyond.❤

📍In Northamptonshire, our Eating Disorder Service (for 18+) and Children and Young People’s Community Eating Disorder Service, support people aged 5 and above, along with their families and carers, to help them recover safely.

Throughout the week, our teams will be sharing helpful information and guidance on where to find more support.

🗨 What is an eating disorder?
Eating disorders are complex mental health illnesses affecting people of all ages, genders, ethnicities and backgrounds. They involve disordered eating behaviours, which may include:
👉 Restricting the amount of food eaten
👉 Eating large quantities of food in one go
👉 Trying to get rid of food through unhealthy behaviours (such as making yourself sick, misusing laxatives, fasting, or excessive exercise)
👉 A combination of these behaviours

It’s important to remember that eating disorders are not all about food itself, but about feelings. An eating disorder is never the fault of the person experiencing it, and anyone who has an eating disorder deserves compassionate support to help them get better.

If you are worried about yourself or someone you care about, support is available:
⭐Speak to your GP to discuss your concerns
⭐ Visit Beat Eating Disorders for advice and support: www.beateatingdisorders.org.uk/
⭐Explore our Eating Disorders webpage for more advice and guidance: www.nhft.nhs.uk/eating-disorders

You’re never alone in seeking help, and support is always within reach.

This short survey is for young people aged up to 25 who live in North Northamptonshire. It asks about smoking, va**ng and other ni****ne products.

https://northnorthants.citizenspace.com/public-health/yp-smoking-and-va**ng/

There are no right or wrong answers – we just want your honest views. You don’t have to answer anything you don’t want to, and your answers are anonymous.

We want to understand:

why young people do or don’t start smoking or va**ng
how it makes them feel
what would help if they want to stop or cut down
What you tell us will be used to help shape information, support and activities for young people locally.

If you are under 16, you may want to complete this survey with a parent, carer or trusted adult, especially if you are unsure about any of the questions

If you’d like more information or support to stop smoking, visit the North Northamptonshire Council Stop Smoking page.

This survey closes at 23.59 on 31 March 2026.
