Let’s Talk: Body Image and Eating Disorders
April 3rd, 2017 | Children and Young People, Events, News
Body image struggles affect us more than we realise. This social problem has many silently feeling inadequate, developing an unhealthy relationship with food, fitness and their bodies, and falling prey to eating disorders. What are some of the common eating disorders? How do you recognise them in yourself and in others? And how can you show care and compassion towards those who might be struggling? Rock The Naked Truth founder Cheryl Tay will share her personal experiences with overcoming eating disorders, alongside clinical psychologist Cissy Li, who specialises in eating disorders.
Date: 26 April 2017 (Wednesday)
Time: 7pm
Venue: AWARE Centre (Block 5 Dover Crescent #01-22)
About the speakers
Sports and fitness personality Cheryl Tay suffered from eating disorders, self-esteem issues and self-harm for over a decade. Eventually, Cheryl found her confidence through fitness, and created Rock The Naked Truth, a body positivity movement, to reach out to others with similar struggles.
Cissy Li is a New Zealand Registered Clinical Psychologist. Before moving to private practice in Singapore, she was employed in a specialist eating disorders clinic where she worked alongside adolescents, adults and their families to overcome eating disorders such as Anorexia and Bulimia.
