Recovery IS Possible

This week marks National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, which is observed at the end of February each year. Eating disorders are serious #mentalhealth conditions that affect people of all ages, genders, and backgrounds. They are not a choice, a phase, or about vanity, but rather complex illnesses influenced by biological, psychological, and social factors.

According to the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA), “30 million Americans will suffer from an #eatingdisorder at some point in their lives.” Despite their prevalence, stigma persists, but open dialogue is helping change that, which is why #NationalEatingDisorderAwarenessWeek is so important to recognize.

If you or someone you know is struggling with disordered eating, we want you to know that #recovery is possible. Help IS out there.

Below, you can find a link to NEDA’s official website, where you can learn more about eating disorders, find help and much, much more.
