Feb 02, 2022 |12:00-1:00
Are you struggling with an eating disorder, or do you want to support someone that is, but you don’t know where to start NEDIC is here to provide some tips.
Health Services and Counselling Services welcomes all AC members to block off their lunch break on February 2 to learn more about eating disorders and how we can support those we care about most. We understand that this is a complicated and nuanced issue. So, an expert from The National Eating Disorder Information Centre will be here to educate us on the topic and answer your questions.
