NEDIC is Canada’s source for eating disorder education and support. We guide people to trustworthy information and resources relevant to their situation.
World Eating Disorders Action Day is a global awareness movement held every year on June 2. Founded in 2014 by individuals with lived experience and families, the day now brings organizations, communities, clinicians, researchers, and advocates from more than 50 countries to push for real change.
The goal is simple and urgent: to challenge harmful myths, break stigma, share evidence-based information, and advocate for stronger, more coherent systems of care. Each year, communities across the world host events, webinars, campaigns, and conversations to amplify awareness and expand access to help.

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.
