Whether you're a parent concerned for a child, a friend or someone who just wants to make a difference, there are many ways to shine a spotlight on eating disorders to help those in need and celebrate people who have made a recovery.
Find ways to show your support. US News & World Report recommends:
Be honest: Tell the person you're concerned about his or her health.

Be caring, but firm: Let them know that you care and want to help in the recovery process.
