NEDA TOOLKIT for Parents
The first toolkits were created with the assistance
of the ECRI Institute, an organization known for its
ability to translate complex healthcare research into
accessible, usable information. After developing
the first draft of the Parent Toolkit, NEDA and ECRI
convened several focus groups of parents to review the
document. Together with input from NEDA’s Board of
Directors and other eating disorders experts, the first
Parent Toolkit was released in 2008. A revised Parent
Toolkit was released two years later.
We are currently seeking funding for the ongoing
development of toolkits, as well as distribution
and marketing. If you or anyone you know may be
interested in contributing to, sponsoring or providing
a grant to support these efforts, please be sure to
contact our Development Office at 212-575-6200, ext.
307; development@nationaleatingdisorders.org.
We hope you’ll find these toolkits useful and will share
this resource with others.
With the continuing advances in eating disorder
research and treatment, NEDA realized that another
more significant revision was needed. Again, the input
of parents, former eating disorder sufferers, and eating
disorder experts was used to further refine the draft
document. In 2015, version 3.0 of the Parent Toolkit
was released.
