This week is National Eating Disorder Awareness Week. It would be great if you would help raise awareness and support the recovery of those suffering by wearing purple this week. I am going to wear purple tomorrow, Thursday, and hopefully have some other people at school wearing purple too.
"The goal of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week (#NEDAwareness) is to put the spotlight on eating disorders and improve public understanding of their causes, dangers and treatments. Millions of people across the country suffer from eating disorders, but by increasing awareness and access to resources, we can encourage early detection and intervention. Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental disorder, so early intervention can mean saving lives." Source: nedawareness.org
