Eating Disorders Awareness Week offers a significant opportunity to increase awareness and understanding of a crucial issue that affects millions worldwide
This Eating Disorders Awareness Week, the spotlight is on Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID).
There has been a sevenfold increase in calls to our Helpline for help with ARFID over the past five years. In 2018, our Helpline received 295 calls for support with ARFID, or 2% of total calls. By 2023, this figure had risen to 2054 calls, or 10% of its total calls for the year.
