Everyone deserves support for their eating concerns, and NEDA wants to connect you with resources that can help in addition to professional help. In this time of great uncertainty and disturbance we face the added danger that isolation brings to those among us who are struggling with an eating disorder. Please refer to this list to explore recovery pathways with virtual support.
NEDA Connections Video Series
Given the current state of our world, NEDA recognizes the importance of prioritizing connection and community, which is why we are launching our new NEDA Connections series. Each day, we will join you via video for 10-20 minute check-ins, resources, activities, and presentations from various NEDA community leaders such as staff, volunteers, eating disorders professionals, and more.
Helplines
If you or someone you know is struggling with an eating disorder, call ANAD’s Helpline at: (888) 375-7767 or the National Alliance of Eating Disorders Helpline at: (866) 662-1235.
COVID-19 Forum
The NEDA Forums now includes a COVID-19 forum to provide a safe space to discuss concerns about COVID-19 and to get support for your eating disorder during this global crisis. All participants are required to agree to the community guildelines. Non-compliance may result in banning future participation on the forums. The Forums are 24/7 and are moderated by volunteers trained by NEDA. Please contact [email protected] for any questions or concerns.
Free and Low-Cost Support
Everyone deserves support for their eating concerns, and NEDA wants to connect you with resources that can help in addition to professional help. These free and low cost support options offer ways to connect with others and provide tools to promote recovery. Please note that these options do not replace professional treatment. We are listing them as additional support options to supplement recovery or maintenance.
NEDA Founders and eating disorders experts are participating in Morning Side Chats in the Living Room. This free virtual series for the community will provide live support for recovery, healing, and growth on Saturday mornings at 11 am Eastern. These sessions are hosted in memory of the late CEO of NEDA, Lynn Grefe.
