Congressional Briefings

The Eating Disorders Coalition educates members of Congress through various means. Congressional Briefings are presentations that we conduct throughout the year at the U.S. Capitol. Working with sponsors in the U.S. House of Representatives or the U.S. Senate, we determine a theme and work with speakers to create a concise, informative program for members of Congress and their legislative aides. At briefings, our elected officials and their aides can ask questions, offer their perspectives, and get to know members of the eating disorders community.
