Intro to Mental Health Awareness Month

My favorite month of the year is here! I love May for many reasons, including my mom’s birthday and the end of the school year, but most importantly I love it because it is Mental Health Awareness Month.

National Eating Disorders Awareness Week: A Brief Introduction

Yesterday was the start of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week. Every February, there is a week aimed at bringing awareness to all of the different types of eating disorders and what can be done to combat them.

Also, a theme is picked each year. This year’s theme is: I Had No Idea. It puts an emphasis on early intervention and it brings to light the fact that many times symptoms of eating disorders can be brushed off as “normal” behavior.

Want to know more about what you can do to help raise awareness? Well, be sure to follow me on Instagram (my username is ajd_720) where I will be posting information all week! Hope you will join me in combating eating disorders during #NEDAwareness Week!
