Where are you going in 2017?

When I decided to create Circum Mensam to help families and treatment providers work together one of the first things I looked at was the calendar: where and when are the most interesting eating disorder events going to be in 2017?

I created a calendar to organize myself and share with others:
International Eating Disorder Awareness and Education EventsSessions and panels are important, but much of the value of events is the opportunity to really meet and discuss issues. More gets done in hallways, in terms of relationships, than in meetings. Nothing replaces actually being there.

So far, I'm committed to the upcoming IAEDP meeting in Las Vegas. I'm hoping to attend the AED ICED meeting in Prague, and the NEDA/BEDA event in New York and Renfrew Conference in November are also on my wish list.

Where are you going in 2017?

Reach out and Recover: new online tool in Australia

It always interests me how we talk about eating and weight concerns across cultures. I am in contact every day with Canadians and Australians and people in the UK and elsewhere and find the way we Americans think of and use the English language to describe them both differ and contrast.

Anyway, I am tickled to share a new website in Australia with you, and even if you are not in Australia and not an adult with weight or eating concerns, you will enjoy exploring the innovative ways this site approaches the questions and the information. The site was created by the Victorian Centre of Excellence in Eating Disorders (CEED).

Called ROAR, which stands for Reach Out And Recover, the site offers not only helpful tools but some really important messages that we ALL need to remind ourselves and say to others:
Dieting is risky (and doesn't change your weight)Body dissatisfaction is common, but not trivialToo much exercise can be harmfulAnd the site has marvelous and moving videos:


George's Story from www.ceed.org.au on Vimeo.


Tara's Story from www.ceed.org.au on Vimeo.

"I got my life back." That's the point.
