NEDA Star Program


National Eating Disorders Association’s (NEDA) STAR (States for the Treatment, Access, and Research) Program promotes advocacy efforts to improve access to treatment and research.  NEDA established the STAR Program to fight for improved access to treatment of eating disorders by speaking with state legislators, mobilizing members, and forging alliances with other groups who share our vision.


Your voice counts and please become involved at a state level.  For immediate updates and more information about what the STAR Program is doing in your state, contact Lara Gregorio, STAR Program Manager, at STAR@myneda.org
