What is NEDAs vision for NEDAW events?
We want to reach every individual in the nation with the message that eating disorders are serious, life-threatening illnesses, not choices. Our aim with National Eating Disorders Awareness Week is to work to prevent eating disorders and body dissatisfaction while reducing the stigma surrounding eating disorders and improving access to treatment. Each year we try to ensure that, at minimum, NEDAW events are occurring in every state in the nation. In the last couple of years we have even seen Coordinators register other countries! Our dream would be to see NEDAW events in every school and on every college campus in the U.S.
