Description

At just 12 years of age, Jaimee Krawitz struggled with an eating disorder and had no idea how to communicate how she was feeling to her friends and family. It's a tricky conversation for adults, let alone a child!  Jaimee is now a counsellor who has dedicated her work to transforming the dialogue around eating disorders. Because what should you say to someone with an eating disorder? What language is helpful? It is so important we take the time to find out, rather than saying nothing at all and adding loneliness to an already incredibly lonely time. At the core of her mission lies the belief that language can be a powerful tool to nurture understanding, reduce stigma, and promote positive mental well-being, specifically in the context of eating disorders among young people.Whether you're a parent, teacher, or healthcare professional, you're sure to find an abundance of practical tips to help you navigate these often challenging conversations.I'd love you to share this episode with friends and family, widening the network of support to those living with eating disorders.Want to know more about Jaimee's work?Hide N Seek, is a non profit organisation dedicated to creating an open and supportive language of conversation, raising awareness, and providing essential resources to caregivers of individuals experiencing eating disorders.Check her out on Instagram or Facebook
