Did you know that more than 29 million Americans will experience an eating disorder in their lifetime and every 52 minutes someone dies as a direct result of their eating disorder? And yet, stigma around mental health in society is still so common, even though all people deserve to receive the help and support they need. No one deserves to struggle with an eating disorder and no one chooses to develop an eating disorder.
Unfortunately, less than ⅓ will ever receive access to care. The National Alliance for Eating Disorders, the leading national nonprofit for eating disorders, has worked tirelessly over the past two decades to change these statistics. The Alliance’s Annual NOT ONE MORE Weekend is February 23-25, 2024, a global movement ensuring that NOT ONE MORE life is lost, NOT ONE MORE child is taken, and NOT ONE MORE precious moment is destroyed by an eating disorder. All proceeds from the NOT ONE MORE Weekend will directly fund their free, weekly, therapist-led, virtual eating disorder support groups!
In 2023 alone, more than 20,500 individuals from all 50 states and 83 countries around the world attended Alliance groups. The Alliance is the only national nonprofit organization that provides free, weekly, therapist-led eating disorders support groups; free referrals for all levels of care through a therapist-staffed helpline and findEDhelp; low-cost therapeutic services for uninsured and underinsured individuals; and unique and empowering Southern Smash events. Simply put, The Alliance saves lives.
Please consider donating to my page as I raise funds to help The Alliance continue making a difference nationwide! I cannot stress enough how amazing of an organization they are and the great impacts they have individually and within the eating disorder community!
