Eating Disorder Week
February 6-12

The National Eating Disorder Information Centre (NEDIC) is a Canadian, non-profit organization dedicated to providing information and resources on eating disorders and weight preoccupation.

The NEDIC Real Me Experience is a new interactive website on self-esteem and body image. The program was developed to help young women understand themselves better. The connection between how we think and feel about ourselves and how we behave is explored.
