Contact the Helpline

The Information and Treatment Options Helpline is no longer accepting new requests and will be closing the service on June 1, 2023. We thank the staff and volunteers who have been involved in this program, dating back to its inception in 1999. 

The National Eating Disorders Association is still here as a resource to connect people with information and treatment options:

• If you are looking for information about eating disorders please check out: https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/what-are-eating-disorders

• If you are looking for support options, please check out our Free & Low-Cost Support opportunities at https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/free-low-cost-support as well as our other help options. 
• Take our screening to find out if you are at risk for an eating disorder: https://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org/screening-tool

If you are in a crisis and need help immediately, call 988 or continue to contact Crisis Text Line by texting “NEDA” to 741741 to be connected with a trained volunteer at Crisis Text Line. Crisis Text Line is a separate organization staffed by volunteers who provide free, 24/7 support via text message to individuals who are struggling with mental health, including eating disorders, and are experiencing crisis situations.
