Educators are in an incredible position to set the next generation up for success - but how they respond to mental health concerns, like eating disorders, can play a pivotal role in a young person’s recovery. For World Teacher's Day, Jess shares how her teachers' support made all the difference in her eating disorder recovery. We also share eating disorder and body image resources for teachers.

Butterfly has seen an increase in the number of educators in both primary and secondary schools reaching out because of concerns about students not eating during the day and other problematic food behaviours at school. In this blog, Butterfly's Manager of Education Services Helen Bird discusses the resources available to help and why all schools should register for free Body Kind Schools activities dedicated to supporting young people to develop a positive relationship with food, eating and their body.
