National Eating Disorder Awareness Week Reads
National Eating Disorders Awareness Week (NEDAW) is an annual campaign to educate the public about the realities of eating disorders and to provide hope and visibility to individuals and loved ones impacted by eating disorders. This year, NEDAW will take place Monday, February 24 – Sunday, March 2, 2025. Eating disorders have the second-highest mortality rate among mental health conditions, with one person dying from an eating disorder every 52 minutes, yet many are unaware of the barriers that can make it difficult to find recovery, including a lack of understanding about eating disorders and their impact. This year’s theme, “The Time is Now,” aims to shift this perception—by highlighting the importance of sharing knowledge and resources, encouraging early detection and treatment, and supporting ongoing research. Together, let’s make NEDAW 2025 a turning point for greater awareness, empathy, and support for all impacted by eating disorders. Why not start by engaging with one of the titles on this list?
