Education and support: Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2025

This week: February 24th to Sunday, March 2nd, 2025, is Eating Disorders Awareness Week. The goal is to educate the public about the realities of eating disorders and provide hope and support to individuals and loved ones impacted by eating disorders.

Online reports say 30 million people in the U.S. have had an eating disorder at some point in their lives.

The Renfrew Center Mt. Laurel in New Jersey, according to their website, “has been the pioneer in the treatment of eating disorders since 1985, with a core focus of empowering patients to change their lives. As the nation’s first residential eating disorder program, Renfrew

has helped more than 100,000 cisgender adolescent girls and adult women, transgender, and non-binary individuals move towards recovery by providing them with the tools they need to succeed in recovery and in life.” Site Director at the Renfrew Center, Nicole Sadler joined us in the PHL17 studio to talk about the work they do.

We were also joined by Danielle Reitinger who is helping raise awareness through her story and personal journey.
