The resolution permanently designates the last week in February as Eating Disorders Awareness Week in New Jersey. This initiative aims to raise public awareness about the serious mental illnesses associated with eating disorders, which affect individuals across various demographics. The resolution highlights the importance of understanding the complexities of eating disorders, including their psychological, biological, and social factors, and emphasizes the need for early diagnosis and comprehensive treatment plans.

Additionally, the resolution calls upon the Governor to issue an annual proclamation recognizing this week and encourages public officials and citizens to engage in activities and programs that promote awareness and support for those affected by eating disorders. By collaborating with the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA), the resolution seeks to foster a supportive environment that encourages individuals and families to seek help and access quality care for these life-threatening conditions.
