Take Action for Eating Disorders Awareness!
Email your legislators and post on social media to urge your Members of Congress to support EDC's Fiscal Year 2026 Appropriations requests.
✅ $5 million for the Center of Excellence for Eating Disorders within SAMHSA to train primary care providers in Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment for Eating Disorders (SBIRT-ED) and to create a public service announcement (PSA) campaign to raise awareness and education about eating disorders.
✅ $750,000 for the HHS Office on Women’s Health to fund research grants on early detection and treatment protocols for women and girls.
Why This Matters:
- Widespread Impact: This funding can address critical gaps in awareness, education, and treatment.
- Life-Saving Support: Funding for SBIRT-ED training will equip primary care providers with the tools to identify and treat eating disorders early, saving lives.
- Empowering Women and Girls: Research grants will help develop better protocols for early detection and treatment, ensuring women and girls get the care they need.
- Breaking the Stigma: A PSA campaign will raise awareness, reduce stigma, and encourage more individuals to seek help.
- Your Voice Matters: Every action you take helps secure vital funding and ensures no one struggles in silence.
Every email, post, and share brings us closer to achieving these critical funding goals.
