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.

#EDAW2027 will be a place to share, listen and learn about eating disorders and neurodivergence. 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.

We hope you can join us from 22nd - 28th February 2027.
