What We Do
The National Alliance for Eating Disorders (formerly The Alliance for Eating Disorders Awareness) is the leading national nonprofit organization providing referrals, education, and support for all individuals experiencing eating disorders and their loved ones. Since October 2000, we have worked tirelessly to raise awareness; eliminate secrecy and stigma; promote access to care; and support those susceptible to, currently experiencing, and recovering from eating disorders.
The Alliance offers comprehensive services, including:
- Free, therapist-staffed helpline offering support and referrals to all levels of care.
- Comprehensive and interactive referral website and app, findEDhelp.com.
- Free, weekly, therapist-led support groups nationwide (virtual and in-person) for those experiencing eating disorders and for their loved ones.
- Educational presentations and training days.
- Unique and empowering Southern Smash scale smashing events and SmashTALK panel discussions.
Over the past 25 years, we have demonstrated our tireless commitment to creating change and making a positive impact on our community.
