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.

"Eating disorder specialists say moments like this reflect a broader pattern in modern health messaging — one that simplifies complex science, leans on shame and risks reinforcing harmful narratives about bodies and food"

Health experts say MAHA's ad oversimplifies a complicated issue and is loaded with shaming language that can cause unintended harm.
