Eating disorders can affect anyone, regardless of age, gender, sex, ethnicity, or socioeconomic status. Stigma around eating disorders can prevent individuals from seeking help and can contribute to feelings of shame and isolation. This is why it's important to raise awareness and promote a message of hope and recovery.

In honor of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week, February 23 – 27, Northern Light Acadia Hospital is pleased to host a FREE community forum to facilitate conversation around this important and growing health concern.
