Workplaces with a culture of ‘body peace’ support people to engage in treatment. Knowing the avoidable eating disorder mortality rate in Australia, committing to being a Body Peace Workplace is literally lifesaving.

Run a launch seminar

This will introduce the program, with opportunities for questions — may include a clinician (e.g., dietician) or a thought leader (e.g., Eating Disorders Victoria CEO).

Promote stories of recovery

An EDV Ambassador will share their profound experience of recovery from an eating disorder, to create awareness of what it’s really like and share what helped them along the way.

Deliver evidence-based workshops

Choose from a menu of workshops. We can tailor content to your team.

• Understanding eating disorders: learn the risk factors and signs.

Share resources

It is so crucial to keep the conversation going. We provide further information about eating disorders, and happy relationships with body, food and movement. These include posters, brochures, or others on request, and can be cobranded.
