Eating Disorder Awareness Week
February 1-7, 2010
Eating Disorder Awareness Week (EDAW) is held annually by groups across Canada, the United States, and increasingly, around the world. The purpose of this week is to educate the public on the relationship between dieting, body dissatisfaction, and eating disorders. The goal is to increase awareness of the social factors causing individuals, to develop anorexia, bulimia, and weight preoccupation. Please visit the National Eating Disorder Information Centre for more information.
Hope’s Garden’s featured event is our Annual Eating Disorders Awareness Week Breakfast that will be held on February 3, 2010. More information can be found on both the home page, and under the Programs Tab.
Our second event is the Eating Disorders Panel on February 4, 2010
