Eating Disorders Awareness Week (EDAW) is an annual campaign to educate the public about the realities of eating disorders and to provide hope and visibility to individuals and loved ones impacted by eating disorders. Eating disorders have the second-highest mortality rate among mental health conditions, with one person dying from an eating disorder every 52 minutes, yet many are unaware of the barriers that can make it difficult to find recovery, including a lack of understanding about eating disorders and their impact.

This week is a time to raise awareness and foster understanding about eating disorders. It’s a reminder that recovery is possible—no matter where you are in your journey, hope and support are always there for healing. 💙

What’s happening in Minnesota is affecting our communities. Even as media coverage has cooled somewhat, stress, fear, and uncertainty continue — and they show up in families, workplaces, schools, and neighborhoods.

If you are feeling overwhelmed or are struggling with your mental health, reaching out for support matters. You deserve care, and you deserve options that feel respectful and right for you.

Mental health and substance use care can look different for different people. For many, care is most effective when it is culturally grounded — reflecting culture, language, tradition, and lived experience.

FastTrackerMN can be used to search for care in ways that fit people’s needs, including by language, insurance provider, location, appointment availability, and cultural specificity. There are also short videos showing how to use the search tool in Somali, Hmong, and Spanish.

Community care also means looking out for one another. Checking in on a neighbor, coworker, or friend can make it easier for people to ask for help when they need it.

February marks Black History Month, a time to recognize and celebrate the contributions of African Americans. This year’s theme, African Americans and Labor, highlights the vital role Black workers have played in shaping the economy—from agriculture and industry to the fight for civil rights. Despite facing discrimination and wage disparities, they have continuously pushed for justice, reshaping industries, communities, and policies. Their efforts have paved the way for fairer workplaces, labor protections, and economic opportunities that benefit everyone today.
