How You Can Make A Difference

Offering your support to an individual struggling with an eating disorder is one of the most beneficial actions you can do. However, it is important to know that while you may say something with good intentions, someone with an eating disorder can easily be triggered. Therefore, educating yourself on eating disorders, what can trigger a patient, and eating disorder terminology is a crucial way you can help a loved one who is struggling. 

Donating is another way to help those struggling with eating disorders. You can donate to the NEDA here, where the money goes toward “prevention programming, education, and support resources.” Participating and recognizing National Eating Disorder Awareness Week annually is another way you can help make a difference when it comes to eating disorders.

If you or a loved one is struggling with an eating disorder, remember that things will get better. While the road may be rocky, a light at the end of the tunnel can always be found. On behalf of The Lancer Ledger staff, we encourage you to become educated on the topic of eating disorders and offer our support to individuals affected by eating disorders.
