The Eating Disorder Foundation

The Eating Disorder Foundation Nonprofit providing free, non-clinical peer-support services to those impacted by eating disorders

Support groups: Our support groups are at the heart of the EDF program, providing safe places for those with eating disorders and their families to grow and to learn from one another. EDF’s support groups are offered on a drop-in basis and are free of charge. These groups not only have helped many who are touched by eating disorders, but also have served as a springboard from which lasting, supportive friendships have grown. Education and outreach: EDF’s efforts include age-specific presentations about body image and eating disorders given free of charge to schools and community organizations throughout Colorado. We exhibit at professional conferences and health fairs for school nurses, counselors, and coaches associations, to name a few. EDF also hosts networking & educational events for eating disorder treatment professionals in the community as a way for these dedicated professionals to connect to their peers, share resources and expertise. Mentorship: Our mentorship program matches qualified mentors with someone who is in need of a little extra help on their path to recovery. EDF mentors provide one-on-one support and act as a role model to their mentee, while encouraging recovery by using healthy coping strategies.

Hey Colorado - this we wanted to highlight a program that has openings RIGHT NOW for people to get accessible outpatient therapy, online or in person, for as little as $10 a session.

In late 2024, our Accessible Care for EveryBody (ACE) program began accepting clients. In 2025, 24 clients started services with Ardent Grove professionals who we train to provide competent outpatient care for eating disorders.

The program currently has available sliding-scale spots as well as Medicaid and insurance availability.

Discover the support you deserve - fill out an inquiry form on our website or via our partners at Ardent Grove https://ardentgrove.org/eating-disorder-therapy-1

Did you know that there are 123 wooden birdhouses and birdhouse-themed pieces of art in EDF's office? These were inspired by our office renovation in 2011, when the architectural drawings resembled a birdhouse. With the theme "A Place of Our Own," our birdhouse motif reminds us that community is where people in recovery can find safety, refuge, and a sense of belonging. Join us at Thursday's Art for a Cause open house to create some new art of our own as we decorate a few new birdhouses for the office!

As part of the Collaborative of Eating Disorders Organizations (CEDO), we’re honored to come together to recognize Eating Disorders Awareness Week 2026, taking place February 23 – March 1, 2026.

This year’s theme is “Fighting for Change, Committed to Change.” Our community is struggling now more than ever — and the time is now for more: more access, more support, more early intervention, more education, more advocacy, and more community.

Together, we are stronger. Together, we must fight for change. Stay tuned for more this week!
