Eating Disorders Awareness Week

Eating Disorders Awareness Week – with its shifting annual dates – lands on 26th February to 3rd March 2024 – this year, it focuses on ARFID (Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder). It’s an appeal to acknowledge and support the 1.25 million people in the UK who battle the challenges of eating disorders. You see, there’s so much stigma and taboo at play. And so this week is an opportunity to shatter myths, share stories and inspire empathy. 

Remember, eating disorders aren’t limited to stereotypes; anyone can suffer from them at any time in life. And that’s why spreading awareness is the name of the game. It’s like a ripple effect of understanding. Through learning more, you can nudge others to create more supportive and inclusive environments, where people are seen for who they really are, and not their condition.
