Eating Disorders in the Military: What Every Leader Needs to Know

Thursday, October 30, 2025 | 9:00–11:00 AM EST | Building C9, Naval Station Norfolk

This in-person leadership training is designed to equip command leaders, CFLs, medical staff, chaplains, and support personnel with the tools to recognize, understand, and respond to eating disorders in the military community. Hosted by SEA WAVES, the nation’s first and only nonprofit dedicated exclusively to eating disorders and suicide prevention in the military population, this training highlights the serious connection between disordered eating, mental health, and military readiness.

Why it matters:

• Eating disorders directly impact readiness, retention, and resilience
• Early recognition saves lives and careers
• Many cases are hidden due to stigma, fear, or misunderstanding

Join us to learn how you can take action, save lives, and lead with empathy.

Open to all military leadership and support roles.
