Safer platforms require strong standards and consistent enforcement. The Online Safety Act sets expectations, and lived experience helps refine the detail. If you have been affected by eating disorders, please anonymously share your experience here: https://t.co/cxfqps7gQb

Victoria Beckham’s openness about her experience with an eating disorder breaks silence and challenges stigma. Her honesty reminds us that recovery begins with compassion, and that no one should face these illnesses alone. https://t.co/PXgsp3Tszt #EatingDisorders #MentalHealth

After eating, it’s common for some people to feel a strong urge to purge. Urge surfing is a grounding technique that helps you ride the wave rather than reacting to it. The idea is to notice the feeling, breathe through it and stay present until it begins to fade. #Charity
