Advocacy efforts to improve access to treatment and research through the STAR Program.
STAR stands for States for Treatment Access and Research. NEDA established the STAR Program to fight for improved access to the treatment of eating disorders by speaking with state legislators, mobilizing members, and forging alliances with other groups who share our vision.
NEDA advocates across the country are actively fighting back against eating disorders by working with state legislators to improve access to treatment and to promote early intervention and prevention programs.
