Eating Disorders Awareness Week (EDAW) is an annual campaign to educate the public about eating disorders and provide hope and visibility to individuals and loved ones impacted by eating disorders. EDAW 2025 will take place Monday, February 24 to Sunday, March 2, but these resources and activities can be used ANY TIME!

This year’s theme, “The Time is Now,” highlights the importance of sharing knowledge and resources, encouraging early detection and treatment, and supporting ongoing research to reduce barriers to recovery and improve outcomes.

There are lots of ways to participate in EDAW 2025 and make a difference! Consider picking one (or several!) of these options to get involved:

• Shareable resources, including flyers, worksheets, toolkits, and more are available online.
• Check out National Eating Disorders Association’s (NEDA) resource, Eating Disorders 101, to learn more about eating disorders, including warning signs, symptoms, and support options.
• Visit NEDA’s Grace Holland Cozine Resource Center to access a variety of eating disorder resources developed for individuals, loved ones, patients, children, educators, and students.

With concerns that students or others may be struggling with an eating disorder, take NEDA’s confidential screening tool or contact the National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders (ANAD) Helpline (1-888-375-7767) or the National Alliance for Eating Disorders Helpline (1-866-662-1235).
