Today kicks off the start of Eating Disorders Awareness Week (EDAW) – an annual campaign to educate the public about the realities of eating disorders and to provide hope, support, and visibility to individuals and families affected by eating disorders.

It is our sincere hope that all people are able to end the war with their bodies and bring in loving-awareness and appreciation for all the things their bodies can do.
