Eating Disorders Awareness Week – February 1, 2022 – February 7, 2022

Tuesday, February 1, to Monday, February 7, is Eating Disorders Awareness Week. On behalf of Health and Counselling Services, we welcome all AC members to devote some time this week to learn more about nutrition, mental health, and eating disorders and how each aspect relates to each other. Everyone is welcome and everyone’s voices will be heard.

As the National Eating Disorder Information Centre says, “It is a time to escalate awareness of the impact of Eating Disorders, the dangerous stereotypes and myths, and the supports available for people living with or affected by them.” Join us as we spread awareness and connect with each other this week.
