Alliance for Eating Disorders Awareness

The Alliance for Eating Disorders Awareness is a national non-profit organization dedicated to providing programs and activities aimed at outreach, education, early intervention, and advocacy for all eating disorders.

Founded in October 2000, The Alliance has worked tirelessly to raise awareness; eliminate secrecy and stigma; promote access to care; and support those susceptible to, currently experiencing, and recovered from eating disorders. We create a bridge for those needing and seeking help by connecting people with resources to assist them in recovery. The Alliance offers comprehensive services, including: – educational presentations to schools, healthcare providers, hospitals, treatment centers, and community agencies; – free, clinician-led weekly support groups for those struggling and for their loved ones; – support and referrals through both our free help-line and comprehensive referral website, www.findEDhelp.com; – low-cost, life-saving outpatient treatment to underinsured and uninsured adults in our community; – unique and empowering scale smashing events and SmashTALK panel discussions nationwide; and – advocacy for eating disorders and mental health legislation.
