We want them and you to know that our fight against eating disorders is continuing. We have accomplished a great deal and will continue to work to bring national attention to the problems of eating disorders. The Mental Health Equitable Treatment Act, which was looking promising of passing - is now in question. We are committed to making access to treatment a reality for those with eating disorders, and need to continue our advocacy on this issue. The awards honor three individuals in the areas of Research, Policy, and Action.
Contributions are tax-deductible.
In conjunction with the fundraiser on October 10th, the Eating Disorders Coalition and Family Action Council will host a lobbing day for families, friends, survivors, and professionals. Then we will visit Members of Congress to talk about eating disorders policy. The lobbying day takes place from 9am-3pm on Thursday, October 11th. Due to the tragic events of September 11 we have had to make the difficult decision to postpone this event. We are currently working on a venue for Eating Disorder Awareness Week in late February 2002.
