The following organizations are primarily nonprofit groups focused on advocacy, research, education, and support. The groups have all agreed to the Participation Principles and are sharing the key messages for World Eating Disorders Action Day on their respective platforms.
NOTE: World Eating Disorders Action Day recognizes the interest and desire of for-profit treatment centers, clinicians, and programs to support affected people in efforts for advocacy and policy change, and that groups have aligned with the Key Messages for June 2. At the same time, the Steering Committee of World Eating Disorders Action Day does not recommend or endorse a particular center or system although does support and seek to expand evidence based treatment.
Being listed on the World Eating Disorders Action Day website or following and supporting on social media is in no way an endorsement of the provider. We recommend persons and families in need of treatment services undertake research to determine the appropriate provider and approach; we strongly recommend consulting peer reviewed literature, looking at outcomes data, and seeking client recommendations.
