ANAD — free peer-support and mentorship for eating disorders

Free helplines, support groups, and one-to-one mentorship from people in recovery.

National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders4 min read

ANAD is one of the oldest U.S. eating-disorder nonprofits. All services are free, and they operate independently of treatment-center funding — useful when other 'helplines' turn out to be intake lines for residential facilities.

Includes a Recovery Mentorship Program pairing those in recovery with trained mentors at no cost.
