Subject: | Resolution recognizing February 26 through March 3, 2024 as “Eating Disorders Awareness Week” in Pennsylvania |
Eating disorders are serious conditions that are potentially life-threatening and have a great impact on a person’s physical and emotional health. In order to better recognize, support and effectively treat eating disorders, public awareness is key. This year we are asking you to “Get in the Know” and learn about eating disorders, get involved in raising awareness, and share information and resources. “Eating Disorders Awareness Week” will encourage people to share their stories and experiences with disordered eating and body image struggles and highlight the importance of screenings for early detection and interventions. We hope that you will join us in co-sponsoring this resolution to raise awareness and support those affected by eating disorders. |
