Turn the page on ED – meet the authors in Brisbane

Greet Professor Janet Treasure at our ‘Meet the Authors’ night in Brisbane.

There will be tears, for sure, at our At Home with Eating Disorders conference, but laughter, too. Lots of it. Laughter is good medicine; together with love, I firmly believe it is the best antidote to ‘Ed’. To help you make the most of this inaugural event, we have organised two evening social dates for our fast-approaching At Home With Eating Disorders Conference  and I look forward to seeing you at both! Very possibly, we will laugh until we cry and this is good, too. At the very least, you will be inspired and make new friends.
