Eating Disorders and Body Dysmorphia
We understand that body image affects all of us in different ways, and being an athlete comes with its own set of challenges when it comes to our bodies. We are here to offer support where we can, and would also like to direct anyone who would benefit from information on eating disorders and body dysmorphia to useful resources. Whether it is for yourself or for someone in your life, the below organisations are a fantastic source of help.
