“After I shared the Nine Truths initiative with the cast, they generously volunteered to produce this special version of a reading of the Nine Truths. AED had just finished a video version of the Truths in different languages from around the world. We have now added another important voice—celebrity. Their star power will help these important messages reach a much wider audience,” says Dr. Lauren Muhlheim, AED board member, who served as a consultant and eating disorder expert on To the Bone.
Developed as a grassroots effort, World Eating Disorders Action Day is dedicated to uniting eating disorder advocates, professionals, and those affected across the globe. On June 2nd, social media will be used to break stigma and raise awareness about the science, prevalence, and treatment of eating disorders. Led by global leaders in the field, consecutive hours of engaging and informational Tweet Chats will be held, and the hashtag #WeDoAct will promote events and information throughout the day. World Eating Disorders Action Day currently has the support of over 200 participating organizations representing over 40 countries around the globe—and is growing daily! Anyone is welcome to join this worldwide advocacy.
Starting today, tune in at www.worldeatingdisordersday.org to watch the cast of To the Bone speak the Nine Truths About Eating Disorders, and join us for World Eating Disorders Action Day.
