NEDAwareness Week reaches millions with messages of hope and recovery
The mission of NEDAwareness WeekOur 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.back to top What is NEDAwareness Week?NEDAwareness Week is a collective effort of primarily volunteers, eating disorder professionals, health care providers, educators, social workers, and individuals committed to raising awareness of the dangers surrounding eating disorders and the need for early intervention and treatment.How NEDAwareness Week WorksThis year, NEDA is calling for everyone to do just one thing to help raise awareness and provide accurate information about eating disorders. NEDAwareness Week participants can choose from a huge range of ways to contribute: Distribute info pamphlets and put up posters, write one letter for Media Watchdogs, register as a Volunteer Speaker or host a Volunteer Speaker, coordinate a NEDA Walk, or arrange interactive and educational activities such as panel discussions, fashion shows, body fairs, movie screenings, art exhibits and more. As an official NEDAwareness Week participant you can be involved in any way that works with your schedule, resources, community, and interests. These events and activities attract public media attention - on local, national and international levels.back to top Thank you to our 2010 NEDAwareness Week Sponsors!Platinum Sustaining SponsorsRader Programs Remuda Ranch Gold Sustaining Sponsors Rogers Memorial Hospital Silver Sustaining Sponsors CRC Health Park Nicollet Melrose Institute Steel Sustaining Sponsor McCallum Place Copper NEDAwareness Week Sponsors Center for Eating Disorders at Sheppard Pratt Laureate Eating Disorders Program Bronze Sustaining Sponsors Cambridge Eating Disorder Center Columbus Park Collaborative Oliver-Pyatt Centers Pine Grove Women's Center The Renfrew Center back to top |
