Another year has flown by, and it’s time for our annual EDAW Drop-in session with Kel O’Neill, hosted by OnlinEvents!
This year’s theme is “Anyone Can Be Affected by an Eating Disorder,” a vital reminder that eating disorders do not discriminate. They affect people of all genders, ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds, challenging stereotypes about who we think might be struggling.
In this relaxed, interactive session, we’ll dive into the key themes of this year’s campaign, share the latest EDAW updates, and explore practical ways to support those affected. There will also be plenty of time to answer your questions and discuss how we can continue to break down stigma and create a more inclusive understanding of eating disorders.
Join Kel and John for a meaningful hour of learning, connection, and conversation on this important topic.
