Resources
We're here for you. But since we're not medical professionals, please check out the below resources for additional support. You've got this!
Crisis Text Line is free, 24/7 support for those in crisis, connecting people in crisis to trained Crisis Counselors. Text CONNECT to 741741 from anywhere in the USA, anytime, about any type of crisis.
National Eating Disorders Association is devoted to preventing eating disorders, providing treatment referrals, and increasing the education and understanding of eating disorders, weight, and body image. The NEDA Helpline is available Monday-Thursday from 9AM to 9PM ET, and Friday from 9AM to 5PM ET. Contact the Helpline at 1-800-931-2237 for support, resources and treatment options for yourself or a loved one.
Project HEAL is the leading non-profit of its kind in the United States delivering prevention, treatment financing, and recovery support for people suffering from eating disorders.
ED Treatment Review provides reviews of eating disorder treatment centers from clients' personal experience.
The Academy for Eating Disorders has compiled a helpful guide regarding medical risk management in the care of people with eating disorders. This can come in handy if you find yourself in an Emergency Department (or with a Primary Care Physician) that is unfamiliar with the medical complications you may experience in relation to an eating disorder, or if you are a provider yourself wanting to know more.
If you are experiencing an emergency, please dial 911 or visit your local emergency room.
