Champion Webinars

Recovery journeys are enriched when we learn from champions who are transforming the landscape of eating disorder care. During EDAW 2025, we invite you to participate in live webinars featuring clinicians, researchers, community leaders, and individuals with lived experience.


These sessions will highlight:

  1. Innovative approaches to care that centre inclusion and access
  2. Strategies for building community support and addressing systemic gaps
  3. Ways to join the movement for change through advocacy or action


Each Champion Webinar is designed to inspire, educate, and empower, offering valuable insights for providers, organizations, and individuals alike.
