Eating disorders are among the deadliest mental illnesses because of their devastating effect on our brain’s ability to nourish our bodies. With adolescents at high risk, parents can play a particularly important role in detecting these disorders. February is Eating Disorder Awareness Month — help us spread the facts and educate others about how to help. You can print, distribute or share via social media the materials in our toolkit during February and all year long.
