Eating disorders are frustrating, frightening, and often incredibly isolating. And sadly, searching for effective treatment can be an equally frustrating experience! EDucated and Empowered is dedicated to providing people with eating disorders access to honest and understandable information about eating disorders and treatment options. There are public forums to discuss and review treatment providers, as well as resources for free support groups and helplines.
It can be difficult to sort through the many myths, stereotypes, and pseudoscientific therapies that exist in current treatment modalities. Hopefully, the information you access on this site about current research, evidence-based practices, and the potential physical cost of eating disorders will enable you to choose the best treatment for your unique recovery journey. Knowledge is power and knowledge is hope.
EDucated and Empowered’s symbol is a dandelion. Dandelions are notoriously hardy flowers. They can grow where the soil is rocky and far from perfect or where the weather is cold. Even in sidewalk cracks or asphalt…dandelions grow anyway. And anyone who has every blown on a dandelion knows that their tufts carry wishes and hope. This recovery process is rocky and treatment is far from perfect.
EDucated and Empowered believes you can grow anyway.
Hope for ALL who are overcoming eating disorders
