Resident Lifestyle & Events Program

The goal of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week (#NEDAwareness) is to shine the spotlight on eating disorders by educating the public, spreading a message of hope, and putting lifesaving resources into the hands of those in need.

This NEDAwareness Week, we are inviting all residents to increase their awareness of the impact of eating disorders. In an area where marginalised communities continue to be underrepresented, we have created a pool of resources to support you in increasing your awareness of the signs and symptoms of an eating disorder.

We have provided access to resources that will support your understanding of the difference between and eating disorder and an unhealthy relationship with food.
