The Harris Center for Education and Advocacy in Eating Disorders at MGH hosts the Public Forum which disseminates information about eating disorders to the community, encourages discussion, and reduces stigma.

Our panelists will discuss the American fashion industry's commitment to advocating healthy lifestyles for women and also its policies to protect dangerously thin fashion models.

Prior to the panel discussion, a short film will highlight the efforts currently under way in the American fashion industry to promote healthy body images. Following this, each panelist will share his or her own experiences and philosophy about body image in the fashion industry and/or media.

After the panel, the forum will open up to receive questions from the audience.
