This week is eating disorders awareness week which was established to raise awareness in America about eating disorders and body image issues. The National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) heads up national initiatives. If you want to check out the projects they have been working on and those who are having events in support of NEDAW around the US, you can go to their website by clicking here. 

There is a chapter of the International Association of Eating Disorders Professionals in Fort Wayne, Indiana in combination with IPFW and Parkview Hospital in Fort Wayne who will be holding free events on 2/24/10 and 3/2/10. The 2/24 event is called: It's Time to Talk, and the 3/2 event is called: Your Body Your Life and How to Love It. The events will have presentations by professionals in this field as well as testimonials and expressive arts. Come out and learn more and connect with others who are concerned about these issues.
