The students we support

“SRSH is literally the only reason I've gone through recovery so quickly from being really low, and it's actually worked.”  

“The support group was absolutely amazing and I think it's the single biggest contributor to my recovery this year.”

“I find your groups really useful to help me stay on track to recovery. You're doing a great job and the support is really useful. It's a great service to offer and I've definitely benefited from it.”   

“Yeah I found this really helpful, really really  helpful, nice to talk to others going through the same thing; you know.” 

“I felt the group facilitators were very compassion and warm.”

 “I feel this group is really good for me, it is good to talk, I feel so well understood.”

“I enjoyed the lack of structure in the group session; I felt that formal therapy had been too structured and didn’t let me discuss the everyday things.”

Picture
I am an eating disorder sufferer myself and was in hospital a year ago. I believe it is absolutely crucial that those suffering get as much support that they possibly can. Effective treatment and support is not always readily available, making it even more crucial that groups and organisations like SRSH get as much funding as they can in order that they will be able to provide effective and regular help for those in desperate need. 

Anorexia can be a very isolating illness, leaving the sufferer feeling lonely and vulnerable. The group provides the sufferer with much needed interaction from other similar minded people. Some fellow group members will be in recovery, providing those still in the depths of despair some hope and encouragement, which is so important for their healing process.

Best wishes
