Our series of ANAD Approach Guides are designed to educate and “guide” our community on a wide range of topics, such as caregiving, pregnancy, binge eating, and navigating life after treatment. These guides are free to download, although we encourage donations to help support ANAD’s outreach efforts.
Inclusive Eating Disorder Care
This guide includes research, resources, and a robust set of guidelines for treating BIPOC, LGBTQ+, people with disabilities, and people in larger bodies who are struggling with eating disorders.
Support at Every Stage
by Savannah King, LSW
This guide provides essential information and tangible suggestions for effectively supporting an adult in your life through the process of treatment and recovery. This new, expanded edition contains additional worksheets—and content adapted from ANAD’s former Grocery Buddies program—to practice with your loved one on their recovery journey.
Eating Disorders and Pregnancy

Treatment Center Discharge Guide
This guide is a valuable resource for anyone considering treatment or preparing to return home from treatment. It includes input from people who have actually been through eating disorder treatment, as well as family members and treatment centers. The guide also contains mealtime support cards as a fun, interactive activity for anyone to use.
Eating Disorders in Schools
This guide provides a brief look at how teachers, coaches, and social workers can all work to promote positive self-image and support students in eating disorder recovery.
