Their expertise sheds light on the importance of navigating these sensitive areas with precision and care.

The impact of DEI offices on saving lives is profound, as highlighted by personal experiences like the one shared by the author. Discovering an eating disorder can be a life-changing moment, as evidenced by the author's visit to BYU's Women's Center in 2019. This experience led to the realization that sometimes, we may not even be aware of our own struggles until we seek help.

Understanding the significance of DEI in personal growth and development is key to fostering a more inclusive and supportive environment. By acknowledging the role of institutions like the Women's Center in raising awareness and providing resources, individuals can take proactive steps towards self-discovery and healing.

In conclusion, leading with empathy and compassion is essential when championing DEI efforts. The journey to self-awareness and understanding starts with seeking help and being open to learning about our own experiences. Through continuous education and awareness, we can create a more equitable and inclusive society.
