Are you concerned about your loved one’s eating behaviors? Are you wondering how you can help out as a family member, as a caregiver, as a school teacher when someone you know is suffering from an Eating Disorder? Are you curious as to how professionals can help you or how you can help your own self in managing an Eating Disorder?

The SGH Eating Disorders programme organizes a yearly public forum in hope to raise awareness for eating disorders. This year, in conjunction with an exciting book launch, we hope to reach out to you as a member of our “recovery village” as we talk about how each of us can play a role in the recovery of a loved one with an eating disorder.

As seats are limited, do register early to avoid disappointment!
