Parent Toolkit:
Revised and updated March, 2009 by Joel Yager, MD and James Lock, MD of NEDA Clinical and Scientific Advisory Committee

The NEDA Parent Toolkit is a resource for anyone wanting to understand more about eating disorders and how to support a family member or friend who’s affected. This toolkit was developed with you in mind, in response to requests for a simple, easy-to-use way to get answers to questions and concerns. Each toolkit developed for NEDA will be updated as new research and information becomes available. There are two ways to read and print this information:

1. Book-form.

2. Print-on-demand, by topic.
