Laura Casey, Director of Services, sits down with Laura Dowling for an honest and powerful conversation about eating disorders, how common they are, how we can better support those we love, and where specialised help is available.

We talk about:

✨ The reality of eating disorders today
✨ The many healthcare professionals involved in recovery
✨ Why we must keep raising awareness especially around men’s eating disorders and ARFID
✨ The importance of treating the whole person with empathy and holistic care

An eating disorder does not define a person. They are more than their illness, and they deserve compassion at every stage.

Let’s keep the conversation going.

Listen. Share. Follow.

I thoroughly enjoyed today’s speakers at and and learned so much from each of them. A sincere thank you to everyone involved in PCHEI, especially Edwina, for organising such a meaningful and impactful event.

The conversations were both eye opening and thought provoking on many levels, and the engagement in the room reflected how important these discussions are.

Thank you to the dietitian Joanne .ie for sharing her expertise on diet culture and for the powerful analogy about the stories/baggage we inherit about food and our bodies often without our consent.

Thank you to the CEO of Bodywhys .e.parsons for outlining the many dimensions of support they provide to individuals and their carers and how many different groups that people can avail of to feel a sense of belonging.

To the speaker who shared her lived experience so openly and honestly, your raw and authentic contribution truly captured the essence of what this week represents. The hope you will instil in so many people.

Paula Crotty’s reflections on her daughter’s experience were deeply moving and served as an important reminder that there is always room to improve treatment and support and for parents to have support with
kielty explained her story and her work will continue to inspire, particularly her emphasis on recovery being possible even if, as she rightly reiterated, it is not always linear.

Thank you to the many other professionals dedicated to supporting young adults and college students as they navigate their journeys.

Finally, recognition to Deirdre Reddan and her work alongside Zuzanna Gajoweic in providing exceptional support to families through their ort

An incredibly valuable and impactful event, thank you to all involved, apologies to anyone I didn’t get to mention and please excuse the poor photography skills 😝

I’m really grateful for the conversation we had on LMFM today with Gerry and especially our fabulous psychotherapist Denise Wogan for Eating Disorder Awareness Week 2026. 💛

This year’s theme of connection really resonated. So much of recovery begins when we feel safe enough to tell our stories and to move from silence and shame into sharing lived experiences. When we open up, we not only release what we’ve been carrying, we also give others permission to do the same.

The more we talk, the earlier we can reach support. The earlier we reach support, the better the outcomes. Honest conversations change and sometimes save lives.

Thank you all for listening. Let’s keep the conversations going. 🤍 Phone or message 083 8285976
