At least 10% of the population are struggling with an eating disorder, disordered eating, and or body image. For 45 years, ANAD (National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders) has been here to help. We are the leading nonprofit in the U.S. providing free support services to anyone struggling with an eating disorder, disordered eating, and body image.
ANAD’s free, eating disorders Helpline is available to provide emotional support and referrals. Our Helpline hours are Monday through Friday, 9am to 9pm CST.
If you are in crisis, The National Suicide Hotline is open 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, and is staffed by trained professionals. Call them at 1-800-273-8255.
”ANAD has been an instrumental piece of my recovery journey. ANAD’s Support groups have been a lifeline for me. Whether online or in person, knowing that I can talk to others in the same situation gives me the resolve to keep going. I can’t thank ANAD enough for the difference they have made for me.

Due to the pandemic, people are experiencing more anxiety and food-related triggers, whether or not they’ve had a history of an eating disorder. Accessing professional treatment has also become more challenging. Together with our volunteers and professional partners, we support thousands every year, and hope to further expand our services by 45% over the next year. Your year-end donation will help make this goal achievable.
”Becoming a peer support mentor was one of the most meaningful choices I have ever made in my life. My deep and immediate connection with my mentee began a journey that is leading to a lifelong friendship. I am so grateful that ANAD brought us together.
