Caring.  Accessible.  Responsive.

If you're here, chances are you already know that eating disorders are the number one killer of all mental illnesses, a shocking fact that remains unrecognized by society at large.

The Eating Disorder Foundation exists for one reason: to change that.

We are uniquely positioned to help those who suffer from eating disorders and their families, to create an environment that fosters sustained recovery and to provide information that's vital to prevention.

We provide high-quality, carefully focused educational and support services, and welcome your help and involvement as we continue and grow our activities, many of which take place in or originate at our new facility, A Place of Our Own®.

For more information on A Place of Our Own®, click on Support Center.




We're here for you.

A Place of Our Own® is ready to welcome you for a broad range of classes and support groups designed to enhance eating disorder recovery or for informal drop-in visits for those wishing to talk, find time to be alone or meet people on the recovery journey.

"Things don't change, we change." - Henry David Thoreau

I heard this quote recently, and it made me think. Since February 1, 2011, much has changed at EDF. Within a year’s time we have developed and received funding for a new support center, which will open its doors on February 1. As I reflected more on Thoreau’s statement, I began to see how it might apply to current realities at EDF, an organization that is deeply committed to helping those who suffer from eating disorders. We may be changing, but our core values remain unaltered. What hasn’t changed is our fundamental commitment to people with eating disorders and those who love them.  What hasn’t changed is the imperative need for volunteers to fulfill our mission.  What hasn’t changed is the essential need for facilitators to offer the means to personal growth through carefully designed classes.  What hasn’t changed is the central need for a strong community working together to make recovery possible.  Together we can serve as role models of hope for people in desperate need of the knowledge and belief that they can change their lives. So we begin the New Year with hope and humility. I’m personally honored and thrilled to be collaborating with volunteers, facilitators, professionals, donors and the community to open this one-of-kind facility. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who has helped to make this dream a reality. Let us all continue to change in ways that support one another and the growth of our community.  Happy New Year everyone.
