Mr. Ben Robinson
'Males get eating disorders too'
Ben was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa at the age of 15 and he will talk about how his eating disorder developed, leading him to be hospitalised on a general hospital ward, before being detained under the mental health act and receiving treatment in an inpatient unit for over a year, before transitioning into CAMHS outpatient treatment. Ben will speak about the difficulties he faced during this period of time and what did/didn’t help him and how he decided to take the road to recovery and what challenges he faced through that.
Ten years on, Ben now has his own company which he set up to raise awareness around mental health but also to eradicate the stigma that men are susceptible to eating disorders too and it’s ok not to be ok.
Ben completes talks/conferences at schools, colleges and universities to students and staff and also delivers these sessions to businesses. Ben also runs parents/carers support groups with the North West Community Eating Disorder service as well as sits on panels for research groups as an advisor’.
