A few months ago I did a talk about eating disorders to staff at my son's old school. I adapted the PowerPoint presentation I'd used for parents at an eating disorders conference in Edinburgh earlier in the year (Eating disorders are not just a 'girl thing'). I know that many parents of young people with, or recovered from, an eating disorder do talks at schools, colleges, universities and other educational institutions, as do former eating disorder sufferers themselves. So I've uploaded a PDF version of the school talk I did (slides only, not the script, I will upload that at a later date when I get around to it). It's far from perfect (and makes massive use of these fantastic PowerPoint tips for the visuals), but it may give you some ideas / inspiration??

Want information on eating disorders in boys? Worried your son has an eating disorder? What are the signs of eating disorders in boys? In 2009 my 15-year-old son developed anorexia. Now aged 31 and with a MSc in Psychology he is recovered & working in mental health using his experiences to help others. I help to raise awareness of eating disorders in boys, point parents to helpful resources & talk about how eating disorders can traumatise families.
