Body Image and Eating Disorder Awareness Week

Body Image and Eating Disorders Awareness Week (BIEDAW) is a national week to raise awareness of body image concerns and eating disorders, celebrated annually 6-12 September.

Description

To celebrate all bodies, we must be aware of the impact of diet culture on our body image and our lives.

Eating disorders can affect anyone at any time. One of the largest, modifiable risk factors in the development of an eating disorder is dieting.
