EndEd - an journey to help the scourge of eating disorder
Mark Forbes was our guest speaker on Friday, and you could have heard pain drop as he spoke of his families battle with eating disorders, and how he has led a groundbreaking program of work to help those families suffering from this awful disease. Mark and his family have personal experience of the challenge of battling this mental problem, and has achieved remarkable results in a very short time, although there is much to do. We also found out that EndEd are engaging with all sorts of folks in the community to raise awareness, facilities and mentorship to address the lack of support available to combat this growing problem. It was stunning to hear that there are less than 50 beds in all of Australia allocated to this issue, and the length of waitlist for families to get the care and support needed to help them in this terrible disease.
