NEDIC is Canada’s source for eating disorder education and support. We guide people to trustworthy information and resources relevant to their situation.
This year's theme is "Health doesn't have a look" —we invite you and your community to challenge the harmful belief that thinness equals health. Messages rooted in diet culture, weight stigma, and healthism can negatively impact how people view their bodies and their relationship with food. These ideas don't just cause individual harm – they are part of broader systems that unfairly judge, exclude, and marginalize those who don’t fit our society’s narrow appearance standards. Let’s work together to promote body respect, inclusion, and a more compassionate understanding of health.

Eating disorders affect people of all genders, ages, classes, abilities, races and ethnic backgrounds. These complex disorders are serious, biologically influenced illnesses — not personal choices. Recovery from an eating disorder is possible.
