JourneyED launches as New Zealand’s first charity for eating disorder support
Dr. Meg Vardy has launched JourneyED, New Zealand's first charity dedicated to providing peer support for individuals with eating disorders. The initiative was inspired by her own personal journey living with anorexia while pursuing a career in psychology and clinical research.
