Think you may be struggling with an eating disorder?

The National Eating Disorders Association has several options to determine if you think you may have an eating disorder.

• Take a short and confidential assessment
• Call their hotline at (800) 931-2237
• Live chat with someone
• Text "NEDA" to 741741

Information for Parents

Being a parent of someone with an eating disorder can be terrifying, especially when your child has gone off to college.  The National Eating Disorders Association has created a useful Parent Toolkit that has information and resources you may find helpful.

Treatment Resources

• Project Heal offers a Treatment Access Program that can help with obtaining health insurance coverage and provide grants. They also offer treatment resources, recovery support groups, and one-on-one mentorship. 
• Texas Eating Disorders Association (TEDA) provides case management services to gain access to care, treatment resources, education, and advocacy for eating disorder recovery.

Local Treatment Options

Below you will find a list of local referral options we are familiar with. It is not a comprehensive list of all care providers in the area or an endorsement of any treatment program or provider. We encourage you to research your options so you are able to make an informed choice regarding which treatment program and/or provider(s) will best suit your needs. We know that a lot of factors contribute to choosing a treatment program or provider(s). If you would like additional assistance with finding a referral, we can assist you.
