Eating disorders are common and life-threatening conditions affecting over 28 million Americans at some point in their lives. Existing literature indicates that SMVF are at an increased risk for eating disorders; however, stereotypes and misinformation about these conditions can create challenges for people who are struggling. The National Center of Excellence for Eating Disorders (NCEED) is partnering with the SMVF TA Center to help raise awareness about eating disorders in the military community and to share important resources that provide evidence-based information and practical guidance. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about eating disorders, treatment, and the crucial role people can play in providing support for a loved one. Active engagement and interaction are encouraged.
