Prevention of Disordered Eating

What is the key to prevention? Understanding you can make a difference and that you affect the people around you.

National Eating Disorders Awareness Week - Feb 5-11, 2012

Prevention can be as simple as:

Stop the fat talk. It encourages people to hate their bodies and develop eating disorders.

Use language that focuses on healthy behaviours and well- being, not size and shape.

Consider the social and cultural messages people get from the things we say, especially as educators and researchers.
