Alaska Eating Disorders Alliance

AKEDA provides education, support, and advocacy for Alaskans impacted by eating disorders. We work to build awareness in the community about these life-threatening illness while building capacity of the Alaskan healthcare system to identify, treat, and refer patients. In addition, we support individuals and families who are suffering -- helping them to find resources and know that they are not alone. We also act to make systemic changes that improve access to care and decrease risk. Through all of these programs, we emphasize programming that helps build body confidence, which is an evidence-based way of building protective factors while decreasing risk for eating disorders.
