Eating Disorder Awareness Week (EDAW) is a collective effort that runs annually from Feb 1-7, commemorating a national focus to raise awareness and action to the causes, prevalence and impact of eating disorders. EDAW is a time to escalate awareness, break down harmful stereotypes and myths, and expand our outreach to support even more individuals living with or affected by eating disorders.  

This year, Looking Glass Foundation invites you to join us in Taking a Stand Against Eating Disorder Stereotypes. We will be co-hosting both virtual and in-person events, as well as partnering with local vendors who share our passion for increasing public knowledge about this devastating mental illness.

Thank you to our corporate partner, Fasken, who will generously be matching your donations from Feb 01 – Feb 07 up to $2,500!
