February 1-7th is Eating Disorder Awareness Week. The Provincial Eating Disorders Awareness (PEDAW) campaign works to promote awareness of eating disorders- their prevention, treatment, and resources, and to promote a healthy body image and lifestyle. On Friday, February 6th make sure to wear purple to show your support!
The library can also do its part by making sure resources are available for library patrons. Why not create a LibGuide, pathfinder, or handouts on eating disorders? Read some of the latest studies on eating disorders so that you’re more familiar with their treatment and etiology. How about creating a book display of purple books for the week, along with local eating disorder resources and information on PEDAW? Any other ideas?
