Today marks the start of Eating Disorder Awareness Week 2026.
This year's theme is “Eating Disorders: Exploring Connection and Community,” and emphasises the importance of human connection and support in early intervention and recovery.
In 2025, 11% of MyMind clients sought support for eating disorders and body image issues. Talk therapy works to reduce feelings of isolation and underlying emotional distress. Recovery is possible with support, compassion, and understanding.
Bodywhys, the Eating Disorders Association of Ireland, will be running a host of free in-person and online events this week, including research-focused webinars and practical workshops for teachers and carers developed in collaboration with their lived experience panels. All are aimed at improving understanding and strengthening support networks for people affected by eating disorders in Ireland.
