Body Image and Eating Disorders Awareness Week (BIEDAW) is an opportunity for practitioners to reflect on the knowledge, skills and relationships they need to best support people living with an eating disorder.
BIEDAW runs from 7-14 September, and is led by the Eating Disorder Alliance (which includes the Australia & New Zealand Academy of Eating Disorders (ANZAED), Butterfly Foundation, Eating Disorders Families Australia, Eating Disorders Queensland, Eating Disorders Victoria and the National Eating Disorders Collaboration (NEDC)).
MHPN has previously partnered with both ANZAED and NEDC and to develop resources for practitioners working with people experiencing eating disorders. MHPN also facilitates networks around Australia that are dedicated to continuing the conversation about eating disorders.
