Eating Disorder Awareness

Posted by Lori Henry Jan 26, 2007

Disordered Eating Awareness Week happens every year in February. Jessie’s Hope Society, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting positive body image, is hosting their annual Youth Poster and Video Campaign.

The project gives youth a chance to express what living a “body positive” life means to them in a creative way. It encourages dialogue within schools and young people to define what a healthy world would look like through their eyes.

It also provides teachers, counselors, youth workers, parents and their communities with a tool to motivate students to speak their voice.

Submissions are accepted during Disordered Eating Awareness Week, February 4-10, 2007. Contact Jessie’s Hope Society’s office for information about acceptable formats and to see the previous year’s winners.
