Bring all your questions to Gaddum’s free online Q&A to ask anything you’d like to know about working with eating disorders in peer support.
The Q&A will be led by a peer group facilitator: Rachel brings lived experience of anorexia nervosa in adolescence and ongoing experiences of disordered eating.
Now aged 55, she reflects on the many ways recovery can look over a lifetime — raising questions about whether recovery always means the complete absence of difficult thoughts, or whether it can also mean learning to live well, safely, and meaningfully alongside them.
Drawing on her own journey, and that of family and peers, Rachel offers an honest, compassionate perspective that holds space for both hope and reality, aiming to make this session open, reflective, and grounded.
Free to attend and open to all Greater Manchester peer workers working across Bolton, Bury, Manchester, Oldham, Rochdale, Salford, Stockport, Tameside and Glossop, Trafford, Wigan and Leigh.
