Bill > ACR61

This concurrent resolution seeks to raise awareness about eating disorders by officially designating the period from February 25 through March 3, 2018 as "Eating Disorders Awareness Week" in New Jersey. By formally recognizing this week, the resolution aims to draw public attention to the serious mental health conditions characterized by abnormal eating habits that can have significant negative impacts on an individual's physical and psychological well-being. While the resolution does not establish specific programmatic requirements, it serves as an important symbolic gesture to encourage education, understanding, and support for individuals and families affected by eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. The designation provides an opportunity for health professionals, community organizations, schools, and citizens to engage in activities that promote knowledge about prevention, early intervention, treatment options, and the importance of mental health support for those struggling with these challenging conditions.
