When “wellness” becomes harmful, the intention to care for yourself can start to feel like pressure instead of support. True health isn’t perfection or restriction—it includes flexibility, nourishment, rest, and mental well-being. If your relationship with food or wellness feels overwhelming, you are not alone. Support is here. 📞 866.662.1235 📲 Text ALLIANCE to 741-741 🔗 allianceforeatingdisorders.com

Reminder for Mental Health Action Day - support doesn’t always start with big steps—sometimes, it begins with something small. Reaching out to someone you trust, nourishing your body, setting boundaries, or simply taking a break from content that doesn’t feel good—these actions matter. They can help create space for healing, self-compassion, and connection. There’s no one “right” way to care for your mental health or support recovery. What matters is finding what feels supportive for you, one step at a time. You don’t have to do this alone—support is within reach. 📞 866.662.1235 📲 Text ALLIANCE to 741-741 🔗 allianceforeatingdisorders.com

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we’re proud to partner with @twloha and @rainn to explore the science behind trauma and eating disorders — and why these experiences are often deeply connected. Trauma doesn’t just live in memory; it can shape how the brain and body respond to stress, safety, and self-regulation. For many, eating disorder behaviors can emerge as a way to cope with overwhelming emotional or physical experiences. By learning the science behind trauma and eating disorders, we open the door to more supportive, informed conversations around healing and recovery. Remember, you are never alone: The Alliance: 📞 866.662.1235 🔗 allianceforeatingdisorders.com RAINN 📞 800.656.HOPE (4673) 🔗 rainn.org TWLOHA 🔗 twloha.com

In honor of PFD & ARFID Awareness Month, @alliancefored and @feedingmatters are proud to partner and highlight these early feeding challenges. Pediatric Feeding Disorder (PFD) and Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) are more than “picky eating”—they can affect nutrition, growth, emotional well-being, and a child’s long-term relationship with food. Early intervention matters—and support can make a meaningful difference in both physical and emotional health. If you’re concerned, you’re not alone.

Today, we're partnering with @theantidietplan , to highlight an important topic: how AI bodies, editing tools, and social media are reshaping self-perception. In a world of filters, editing tools, and AI, the way we see ourselves can shift—often without us even realizing it. Constant exposure to curated and altered images can quietly reshape what we think is “normal,” making it easier to fall into comparison, self-criticism, and the feeling that we’re not enough. Over time, this can take a real toll on body image, self-worth, and mental health. If you’ve noticed a shift in how you see yourself after scrolling, editing, or being on camera, you’re not alone. These experiences are real, valid, and worth paying attention to. 📞 866.662.1235 📲 Text ALLIANCE to 741-741 🔗 allianceforeatingdisorders.com

STAFF SPOTLIGHT: Meet Laurie 💛 Laurie serves as the Outreach & Communications Manager at The Alliance, where she truly wears many hats—from social media and marketing to trainings, fundraising events, and behind-the-scenes operations. No two days look the same, and she thrives in the variety and purpose her role brings. Her connection to The Alliance is deeply personal. After first being introduced to the organization in high school through her own recovery journey with an eating disorder, Laurie began attending support groups and has been involved in various capacities for over a decade. What makes her work most meaningful is the full-circle experience of now giving back to the same organization that once supported her. We’re so grateful for the heart and dedication Laurie brings to The Alliance community every day 💛

This Celiac Disease Awareness Month, we’re recognizing the complexity of navigating medically necessary dietary restrictions. For those with celiac disease, avoiding gluten is essential for physical health—but the structure and vigilance required can sometimes become overwhelming or extend beyond what’s medically necessary. You deserve support that considers both your physical and mental well-being. You don’t have to navigate this alone. 💙 📞 866.662.1235 📲 Text ALLIANCE to 741-741 🔗 allianceforeatingdisorders.com #celiacdisease #celiacawarenessmonth

Eating disorders don’t look one specific way—and you don’t have to be “sick enough” to deserve support. If your relationship with food, movement, or your body feels overwhelming, confusing, or distressing, that matters. If you or someone you love is struggling, support is here. 📞 866.662.1235 📲 Text ALLIANCE to 741-741 🔗 allianceforeatingdisorders.com

In collaboration with @LeviYungRuivivar and @graciegold95 , we’re creating space for a conversation that doesn’t happen often enough. Behind the strength, discipline, and drive we see in athletes, there can also be quiet, constant pressure. In many sports, expectations around body size, shape, or weight are normalized—sometimes even tied to performance. Over time, that can blur the line between training for the sport and controlling the body—impacting both physical and mental health. No athlete should have to navigate that alone. If you or someone you know is struggling, help is here. 📞 866.662.1235 📲 Text ALLIANCE to 741-741 🔗 allianceforeatingdisorders.com

This AAPI Heritage Month, we’re bringing attention to a conversation that is too often overlooked. Eating disorders affect people of every background—but AAPI individuals are among the least likely to be screened, diagnosed, or connected to care. Cultural expectations, stigma, and limited access to culturally competent resources can make it even harder to recognize the signs or reach out for support. Everyone deserves to be seen, supported, and met with care that understands their lived experience. If you or someone you love is struggling, you are not alone—help is here. 📞 866.662.1235 📲 Text ALLIANCE to 741-741 🔗 allianceforeatingdisorders.com #AAPIHeritageMonth #AAPI
