National Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2009: Until Eating Disorders Are History



*UNTIL EATING DISORDERS ARE HISTORY*

The mission of NEDAwareness Week

"Our aim of NEDAwareness Week is to ultimately prevent eating disorders and body image issues while reducing the stigma surrounding eating disorders and improving access to treatment. Eating disorders are serious, life-threatening illnesses — not choices — and it’s important to recognize the pressures, attitudes and behaviors that shape the disorder."

Eating Disorders Awareness Week starts today. Here are a few links to help get you motivated, involved, and aware!
