🚨 OVERDOSE AWARENESS DAY DELAWARE (OADDE) 🚨

Hosted by Face the Facts Delaware 💛

September 12th | 11AM–3PM
Delcastle Recreation Park (DelRec)

This is not just an event.
This is where a community shows up loud, proud, and unapologetically human.

We are honoring lives.
We are fighting stigma.
We are putting real resources in real hands.
We are saving lives.

And we need EVERY corner of this community in it…

💥 Does your company want to sponsor something that actually matters?
💥 Does your workplace want to be an exhibitor and connect with hundreds of people?
💥 Do you know a doctor, therapist, treatment center, nonprofit, or business that should be in this space?
💥 Are you part of a team that talks about “giving back”? THIS is it.

Send it to them. Tag them. Walk it into your boss’s office.
Be the reason they show up.

As Eating Disorder Awareness week comes to an end, please remember those whose memory we continue to honor by spreading awareness and fight for local resources. They were wives, mothers, sons, daughters, friends, sisters, brothers, husbands, teachers, athletes, and active military. Each had hopes and dreams for the future. I know quite a few of the families who lost their loved one pictured below. Many of these families are great advocates and work relentlessly to help others.

Only 10% of those fighting an eating disorder will receive treatment.

Eating Disorders are the second DEADLIEST of ALL mental illnesses where a staggering ONE IN FIVE of those struggling will die.

Over 30 million men, women, and children are struggling with an eating disorder; that number doesn't include those fighting who do not meet "diagnostic criteria."

Eating disorders don't discriminate by age, gender, size, socioeconomic status or race.

With early intervention lives can be saved. Recovery is possible.

Everyone knows someone who has an eating disorder.

Please share, raise awareness, and never stop fighting.




If you have lost someone to an eating disorder and they are not pictured please post a photo in the comments.

Eating disorders can affect anyone—but they’re too often misunderstood, oversimplified, or erased in media.

We are so grateful to the team behind The Pitt () for the care, accuracy, and humanity they brought to last week’s episode. By portraying a Black woman with bulimia nervosa, they not only captured the complexity and treatability of these illnesses—but also challenged the harmful stereotypes about “who” develops an eating disorder. That kind of representation can be truly life-saving.

Stories like this matter. They remind us that eating disorders are serious mental health conditions, deserving of empathy, understanding, and proper care—without judgment or assumptions about appearance.

Demi Lovato’s new song “Sorry To Myself” is about facing one’s own mistakes, learning to forgive yourself, and embracing hope and self-acceptance after periods of self-criticism—while acknowledging how difficult that process can be.💛

Thank you for sharing your journey and inspiring us to keep going.
