It's that time of year again! Excited college students are about to descend on campuses across the country. 📚 😃 New friends, new classes, new adventures to take on. But for many, it's also a huge life transition that can cause a lot of anxiety and stress, with students dealing with everything from peer pressure and unrealistic beauty "ideals" to competitiveness to food insecurity...just a few of the reasons that eating disorders are so prevalent on college campuses. So what can families do to support their college students as they head off to school in the coming weeks? As Whitney Trotter, a registered nurse and dietitian, leader in the eating disorder space, and Arise advisor, shares: "The most important thing is to have open and honest conversations about how they feel about their body, the dangers of intentional restriction and why bodies are unique." For BIPOC students entering these new environments, Trotter also recommends talking with them about “the cost of assimilation and how BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color) bodies experience the world differently.” Read more 👉 https://cnn.it/47tViBD

Today, on World Mental Health Day, we're pausing to send a gentle reminder your way: Your mental health is paramount, it matters deeply, and we're here to encourage you to prioritize it, today and every day. 🌟 Many of us have lived firsthand with mental health challenges, eating disorders among them. And it's important to remember that eating disorders aren't just about food and body image. They're intertwined with where we come from, what we've lived through, and our mental and emotional well-being. If you've been there, or are there now, we want you to know your experiences are real and valid. We know it can feel lonely at times, but you’re never alone in this journey. It's not only okay to seek support — it's a brave, courageous step. Let’s continue to hold space for our mental health, uplift one another, and shatter stigmas together. We hold space for you on this day. 💜 #WorldMentalHealthDay #mentalhealthmatters #eatingdisorders
