Description

A topical roundtable discussion focussing on the benefits of spiritual practices in the recovery from eating disorders was launched at South East Technological University (SETU) by Mary Butler TD, Minister of State for Mental Health and Older People.

SETU, in collaboration with the Spirituality Institute for Research and Education (SpIRE) in Dublin, convened the roundtable discussion at SETU's Cork Road Campus in Waterford on Monday, 26 February. The pioneering event on the topic of “Exploring the challenge of eating disorder recovery through spiritual practices” marked the opening of National Eating Disorders Week.

Organised by Dr Bernadette Flanagan and Dr Michael O’Sullivan of SpIRE, the event brought together spirituality researchers, prominent experts, healthcare professionals, and stakeholders within the field of eating disorder recovery to deliberate on the critical role that spiritual practices can play in the recovery process.
