Do you have lived experience of an eating disorder and used TikTok (aged 18-30)? Or have you supported someone who has (all ages, parents, siblings, etc)? @beatED are working with TikTok to improve their platform to make it a safer place for people experiencing eating disorders.
We were thrilled to have Professor Linda Kaye as a guest speaker for the GCU Psychology society last Friday, where she delivered a talk on “Are Emoji Emotional?”. Looking forward to the new book in January next year, and we would love to have you back sometime! 🤩
