One Message.
Many Communities.
One Opportunity to Change the Timeline.
Eating disorders don’t discriminate by age, background, school, sport, or community.
That’s why the Before It Begins Tour was designed to reach the people who have the greatest opportunity to influence a young person’s life before a crisis develops.
Whether you’re a parent, educator, coach, counselor, healthcare provider, or community leader, you have the power to help girls build confidence, resilience, and a healthy sense of self.
