As we wrap up Back to School Week, we want to remind you that support and resources are available throughout the school year.

Changes in routines, schedules, stress, and social pressures can sometimes make concerns around food, body image, or eating behaviors more noticeable.

NEDA’s free, confidential Eating Disorders Screening Tool can help you better understand whether you or someone you care about may be experiencing signs of an eating disorder. A screening is not a diagnosis, but it can be a place to start.

The screening tool is available in English and Spanish:

As part of our Back to School campaign, we’re sharing a free resource for high school health educators from the Weight Inclusive Nutrition Collaborative at the University of Vermont.

This eight-lesson curriculum offers a thoughtful approach to nutrition education, covering diet culture, body image, nutrition misinformation, hunger and fullness cues, and individualized nutrition decisions.

Educators can help shape how young people think and talk about food, health and their bodies. We encourage you to explore and share this resource.

Recovery deserves a place on your back to school list.

We asked people with lived experience to finish one sentence: “This school year, I’m protecting my recovery by...”

Their answers are a reminder that protecting your recovery can look different for everyone. Setting boundaries, asking for support, prioritizing yourself, and choosing what you need.

How are you protecting your recovery this school year? Comment below.

Back-to-school season brings new routines, changing schedules, and social pressures. For people in eating disorder recovery, this transition can be especially challenging.

NEDA is inviting people with lived experience, parents and caregivers, and education and mental health professionals to take our new Back to School Survey.

Your input will help us identify gaps and shape future resources, programming, and support for students, families, caregivers, and professionals throughout the year.

The survey takes just a few minutes. Responses may also be shared with partner organizations, including , to strengthen support across the field.

Take the survey: https://bit.ly/4qs2oAy

Please participate and share it with your networks. Every response helps us better understand what our community needs year-round.

Back to school can bring excitement, new beginnings, and new opportunities. For students struggling with an eating disorder, it can also bring uncertainty, pressure, and a desire for control.

In this blog, Madelyn shares her experience navigating an eating disorder during her freshman year of college and what helped her begin shifting her energy toward her goals, values, relationships, and healing.

Her story is an important reminder for students heading into a new school year that you do not have to navigate it alone. Asking for support is a sign of strength, and your well being deserves to be a priority.

Join us this week as we celebrate Back to School with you by sharing resources, stories, and support to help you navigate the start of a new school year.

New classes. New routines. New people. A new school year can bring a lot of change. But becoming a “new you” does not have to be one of them.

NEDA’s Back to School hub has resources to help students, families, educators, and communities navigate this season while supporting eating disorder awareness, recovery, and well-being.

We’re gearing up for back to school, and we know some of you have already started!

A new school year can bring new classes, routines, and pressures. Diet culture does not need to be one of them.

You don’t need to change your body for a new school year. Food doesn’t need to come with guilt, rules, or labels. Let’s focus on what really matters: learning, connection, friendship, rest, and being yourself.

Save these 5 reminders for the school year ahead.

New school year. Same you. No diet culture required.
