NEDA 2023 Back to School

2023 Back to School

Presented by NEDA Campus Warriors

Transition times may be challenging for those who are affected by eating disorders. As students go back to school, there are ways parents, teachers, coaches, counselors, peers can detect students who are struggling with an eating disorder and support them. Luckily, with early detection, intervention, and awareness, each of us can make a difference. This back to school season we have compiled resources for you to learn more about eating disorders, the warning signs and where to go for help, blog posts by those with lived experience, and videos from our Campus Warriors.

Be compassionate with yourself, it can be overwhelming to start a new school year! There will be ups and downs, but you are capable and brave enough to face the adventures ahead of you! - Julia Z, from Temple University
