Renfrew’s 2026 Eating Disorders Awareness Week Campaign: The Myths We Carry

The Renfrew Center is proud to join other eating disorder organizations throughout the country to celebrate Eating Disorders Awareness Week.

February 23 – March 1, 2026

In a culture that loves categories, eating disorders are too often misunderstood through narrow lenses; who they affect, what they look like, and why they happen. The Myths We Carry challenges those assumptions, shining light on the diverse, complex realities behind the stereotypes.

This year, we invite our community to look deeper. To examine the unseen pressures, expectations, and biases that shape how we view bodies and worth. From the influences of social media and weight loss culture to the stigma that keeps so many silent, The Myths We Carry, calls for awareness grounded in empathy, inclusivity and truth. Recovery begins when we stop trying to fit a mold and start seeing every individual’s experience as valid and deserving of care.
