Eating Disorders Awareness Week
Eating Disorder Awareness Week 2025: Embracing Possibilities
Eating Disorders Awareness Week takes place February 1-7 every year in Canada. This year’s campaign, Embracing Possibilities, highlights the power of community-driven solutions, innovative care models, and insightful educational opportunities that aim to transform the eating disorder care landscape. By working together, we can break down barriers and illuminate pathways to equitable, accessible, and inclusive support for all.
Eating disorders affect people of all genders, sexual orientations, ages, socioeconomic classes, abilities, races, and ethnic backgrounds. That is why eating disorder groups across Canada unite to mark EDAW with a national week of action aimed at educating the public, highlighting available supports, and advocating for meaningful change.
EDAW is a collective effort from coast-to-coast-to-coast. Participating organizations across the country will host local events, light landmarks in purple, and engage in public education campaigns to raise awareness and foster understanding about eating disorders.

What’s Happening?
This workshop is designed to support individuals navigating eating disorders by focusing on the critical connections between sensory modulation and interoception. Participants will explore how sensory experiences and the awareness of internal body signals impact emotional regulation, self-awareness, and behaviors related to food, eating, and body image. Through practical exercises and guided mindfulness techniques, we will help participants better understand their sensory processing patterns and learn how to tune into internal cues, such as hunger, fullness, and emotional states.
The workshop emphasizes creating a safe, supportive space for individuals with eating disorders and neurodiverse traits to build greater body awareness, improve self-regulation, and enhance their recovery journey. Participants will leave with tools to better manage sensory overload, cultivate a compassionate relationship with their bodies, and develop strategies for navigating daily challenges related to eating and self-care.
SOLD OUT – Join us on February 6 from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. for an evening of creative expression, connection, and an opportunity to raise awareness of those experiencing eating disorders in our communities.
