Eating Disorder Awareness Week

Why Community?

Eating disorders can be isolating, making people feel alone whether someone has an eating disorder themselves or whether they are supporting someone.

We’re celebrating the power of community and the vital role family, friends, and other support networks play in helping someone feel supported, understood, and never alone on their journey from seeking help, undergoing treatment and beyond.

We'll be talking about different types of community, the role of online communities and highlighting the importance of good wellbeing for everyone.
