To celebrate NIED’s 10-year milestone as a leader fostering Education, Understanding & Action for Eating Disorders in Canada, we shone the light on how young adults are getting involved in spreading education, understanding and action about Eating Disorders.
Our The Way Ahead event coincided with World Eating Disorder Action Day on June 2, 2022. It spotlighted how the next generation is stepping up with spirited passion and commitment to help ignite change in the Canadian Eating Disorder landscape.
