Supporting someone who’s LGBTQ+? 🧡 If you know or are treating someone in the LGBTQ+ community who has an eating disorder, your support is invaluable in helping them to recover. Here’s how you can help... Educate yourself 🏳️🌈 ✨ Eating disorders can be overlooked or dismissed in the LGBTQ+ community because they do not fit the stereotype as depicted in mass media. But there is no single way that eating disorders present in people who are unwell. Create a safe space 🏳️🌈 ✨ Approach any conversations in a warm and non-judgmental, and handle with compassion and care. Let them know that you are therwe to listen and to support them. ✨ Use inclusive language that affirms all gender identities and sexual orientations. Use gender neutral terms before assuming someone’s sexual or gender identity. ✨ No one size fits all – comments championing body positivity can sometimes be unhelpful to those in the LGBTQ+ community as it may be invalidating to those who experience gender dysphoria. Show your support 🏳️🌈 ✨ Seeking support for an eating disorder always takes courage, but even more so for LGBTQ+ people who might be met with additional misconceptions on top of those about eating disorders. Supporting someone to speak to a healthcare professional or contact a helpline, and being with them as they share what they’re experiencing, can be really helpful. If you're LGBTQ+, know that you’re not alone. Head to https://lnkd.in/eeDRCE-3 (link in our bio) for more information. If you need support, our helpline advisors are here to support you. Just drop us a message or give us a call ☎️
