We are delighted to announce that the theme for Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2027 is “Different Minds. Different Needs: Eating Disorders and Neurodivergence.”

Research exploring the links between neurodivergence and eating disorders is growing, highlighting the importance of understanding how eating disorders can affect people in different ways. Neurodivergent people can face particular challenges in eating disorder treatment and recovery that require understanding, appropriate support and tailored care. Recognising the connection could help more people receive the support they need.

This theme was shaped through consultation with a panel of individuals, including those with lived experience, carers, clinical professionals and Bodywhys volunteers and panel members. Their insights helped us identify the importance of raising awareness of the relationship between eating disorders and neurodivergence.

Over the coming months, we’ll be sharing more about our plans for Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2027, including a calendar of events.

Planning an event? We’d love to hear from you. A dedicated form for expressing your interest in being included on our events calendar will be shared with you in the coming weeks.
