National Eating Disorder Information Centre

			New Poster Available! Visit our online store to purchase your copy of our new PSA poster, Sterotypes. The poster touches on a striking new reality, that the seeds of an eating disorder are sown at a much younger age than many people think. In fact, the media negatively affects body image perceptions among children as young as 6 years old.
	Positive body-image can lead to better self-esteem, emotional stability, happiness and confidence in children. This Grade 4 – 8 media literacy curriculum is deeply engaging, teaching children to understand how and why media messages are created. Then students create their own media messages! Created by NEDIC with the generous support of the Dove Self Esteem Fund. Brought to life by The Director’s Cut.
The National Eating Disorder Information Centre (NEDIC) is a Canadian, non-profit organization, established in 1985 to provide information and resources on eating disorders and weight preoccupation. Our goal is to promote healthy lifestyles that allow people to be fully engaged in their lives. If you, or someone you know, is struggling with an eating disorder or is preoccupied with weight and dieting, please read our Give & Get Help section for valuable information and resources.
