JULIET SHAPIRO (SHE/HER)

Hi! I’m Juliet, and I’m currently in my final year of undergraduate study at Wadham College. As the Mental Health Officer at the Disabilities Campaign, I do my best to signpost suitable resources and suggest where students might find advice or support if they come to me with a specific problem. It has become increasingly clear to me, however, that there is a severe lack of support for students facing a wide range of mental health conditions, including eating disorders, despite such disorders affecting a significant portion of the student body. The rhetoric that mental health is important, especially during a pandemic, is not reflected in the provision of mental health treatment and support provided by either the University, or local government in the Oxfordshire area. It is for this reason that I am working with this campaign to push for structural changes which will widen access to the eating disorder services which are so badly needed.
