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 recognizing the signs and symptoms of eating disorders, the need for early diagnosis and treatment, and the role of the National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) in providing support and advocating for improved access to care.

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 establishing this awareness week, the resolution seeks to foster a better understanding of eating disorders and encourage individuals and families to seek the necessary help to combat these life-threatening conditions.
