After sending out a survey to our school, we found that many students wanted more visible support around body image and eating disorders, so we decided to create a bulletin board to reinforce body positivity throughout our campus. This physical display gives students something real to look at—not on a device—offering information about eating disorders and encouraging messages that promote self-acceptance and mental wellness. We hope it helps raise awareness, supports positive mental health, and reminds everyone that they are more than a number.
Through the month of February, we hope to bring more of our activities online so that it's more accessible for folks all over the internet! We will be hosting a 30 Day Journal Marathon and a 4 Week Challenge Marathon where people will be able to reflect on their relationship with food whether or not they're struggling with an eating disorder and they'll be able to challenge themselves taking taking little steps to improving their relationship with food!
