Nationally, 95 percent of people with eating disorders are between the ages of 12-25. The majority of those who have an eating disorder don't seek treatment, often as a result of shame or social stigma. The goal of this event is to educate, reduce the stigma attached to eating disorders, and to let students know that help is available.
