This is the final week to call your Representative and ask for their support for a GAO study on eating disorders prevention and treatment for military members!

Servicemembers and their families have higher rates of eating disorders than the civilian population. We are asking our Representatives to sign-on to a letter requesting the Government Accountability Office to conduct a study on:

• What steps the military is taking to screen for and prevent eating disorders within servicemembers during the entire life cycle of service
   
• How many military members and military families sought treatment for an eating disorder
   
• A comprehensive review of the availability and access to eating disorder treatment for military members and their families

The letter is led by Representatives Seth Moulton (D-MA) and Walter Jones (R-NC) and can be read here.

Please help us build support for this important study by contacting your Representative!

The deadline for your Representative to sign-on to the letter is Friday, June 8th.

"Hello, my name is _____[FULL NAME] and I am a constituent from _____ [CITY, STATE].

I'm calling to ask the Representative to support the bipartisan letter led by Congressmen Jones and Moulton currently circulating in the House. The letter requests a comprehensive GAO study be conducted on how the military screens and prevents eating disorders within servicemembers and the availability and access to treatment for military members and their families.

It is important to me that the Representative sign-on to this letter because...
[ADD YOUR REASON WHY YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW THE MILITARY ADDRESSES EATING DISORDERS]

Thank you."

 

Thank you for taking action!
