Words that Inspire!

This event is open to those with lived experience of eating difficulties or eating disorders, who live within the Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire area. Friends, family and supporters of loved ones with eating difficulties are also encouraged.

Event content

Join us in sharing positive messages of hope and recovery; messages you have read, that uplifted you and encouraged you towards or within recovery.

The event will include a talk about the power of words, language and poetry, as well as sharing a collection of inspiring messages (submitted by participants), both written and spoken. This will be followed by small group conversations around the materials.
