Conversation starters, Conversation stoppers

Social media is a powerful tool for change. This year’s EDAW campaign invites us to challenge the harmful message that thinness equals health and instead champion conversations that honour safety, dignity and diversity of all bodies.


Follow along as we:

  1. Highlight ways to interrupt unsafe conversations about food, bodies and movement
  2. Illustrate the importance of weight-inclusive care


By sharing these posts with your networks (#EDAW2026), you can help amplify the message, challenge harmful beliefs, and spark broader awareness and advocacy.
