Marin Voice: ‘Love Your Body Week’ about self-compassion, connection

In honor of National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, we are launching a youth-led campaign across Marin County called “Love Your Body Week.”

Eating disorders affect an estimated 30 million people in the United States and have one of the highest mortality rates of any mental-health condition. These disorders impact people of all genders, races, backgrounds and body sizes. Yet many who struggle never receive support, in part because eating disorders do not always look the way people expect.
