When some bodies are held up as examples of what not to look like and who not to be, all of us suffer. It creates a culture of judgment and rejection, which leads to a world of hurt and shame.

Why Suffer Out Loud?

Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses surrounded with a lot of stigma. Those who struggle with eating disorders are at a greater risk of suicide. Suffer Out Loud is leading an effort to reduce suicide rates in Montana by changing the conversation around mental illness.

Why Project HEAL?

Project HEAL is a non-profit serving those struggling with eating disorders that the current system is failing. Their goal is to break down barriers to treatment to give every person a shot at recovery. Their programs help people get the care they need and have been repeatedly denied.

We wanted to acknowledge that many of the creators of this initiative hold unearned privilege, including thin privilege. We hope this can be a small step towards building a bigger conversation that better includes the voices of those most affected by living in a world that doesn’t support all bodies equally.

We welcome your ideas and feedback.
