Tell me more

Alongside substance use, eating disorders are the deadliest of all mental illnesses – yet they remain widely misunderstood.  Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and their variants, consist of severe disturbances in eating behavior and weight management. They often coexist with other mental illnesses, such as depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The consequences of eating disorders are serious and can be life-threatening.

Thank You for helping us make your ‘Why’ happen

We dedicated the month of October to an intensive fundraising campaign, raising a substantial portion of the funds we need to run our programs and surpassing our fundraising goal. No matter how much you were able to give, you are all part of the drive to ensure that EDF’s vital services continue, expand, and remain free of charge.
If you didn’t get the chance to participate, not to worry – there are more opportunities to support us during Colorado Gives Day and Giving Tuesday.
