Eating Disorder Awareness Week (EDAW) is a national movement that runs annually from February 1-7, commemorating a national focus to raise awareness and action the causes, prevalence and impact of eating disorders.
Eating disorders affect people of all genders, sexual orientations, ages, socioeconomic classes, abilities, races, and ethnic backgrounds. That is why eating disorder groups across Canada unite to mark EDAW with a national week of action aimed at educating the public, highlighting available supports, and advocating for meaningful change.
This year’s campaign, Embracing Possibilities, highlights the power of community-driven solutions, innovative care models, and insightful educational opportunities that aim to transform the eating disorder care landscape. By working together, we can break down barriers and illuminate pathways to equitable, accessible, and inclusive support for all.
EDAW is a collective effort from coast-to-coast-to-coast. This year's theme and surrounding education materials were developed in collaboration with NEDIC and eating disorder organizations across the country.
