Each year on June 2, communities across the globe unite for World Eating Disorders Action DayTM (WEDAD), a collective effort to raise awareness, inspire action, and advocate for those affected by eating disorders. This annual movement brings together individuals, families, clinicians, researchers, and activists in more than forty countries to spotlight the complex realities of eating disorders and demand systemic change.

In a world where stigma, misunderstanding, and underdiagnosis persist, World Eating Disorders Action DayTM matters more than ever. It’s a reminder that eating disorders are serious mental health conditions, not personal choices, and that recovery is possible with access to support, treatment, and resources.

This year’s theme:  Stop Stigma. Start Care Together. aims to highlight the significant gaps in understanding, treatment and care.
