Men and boys get eating disorders too. It is not only women and girls who are affected by anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder and other types of eating disorders. Males and those identifying as male can also experience concerns with weight, shape and size and other stresses and problems that might contribute to developing an eating disorder - but it is a topic that is very little talked about, often associated with stigma and under the radar of most people. 

Join us for an informative session, open to all, where we aim to bust myths about eating disorders in males.  

Organised by the University of Nottingham in partnership with the Derby-based eating disorders charity, First Steps ED.
