Our Mission

We are a community-driven organization committed to fostering inclusivity and accessibility in the field of eating disorder awareness and care. Through a social justice lens, we challenge the status quo and prioritize intersectional approaches to education for both clinicians and the broader community.

​

Our mission is to create spaces where diverse voices are uplifted and where all individuals—regardless of background—can access the resources and support they need on their path to recovery.

​

We envision offering high-quality, affordable training to clinicians—especially those who have historically lacked access to eating disorder education—to help them build the skills and confidence needed to provide effective, compassionate care. A core component of our work is educating providers about weight stigma and fatphobia and equipping them to create safer, more affirming spaces for people in all bodies.

​

We are particularly focused on reaching and supporting marginalized communities, including those identifying as BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and/or neurodivergent. We also believe in the power of connection. LAEDC strives to cultivate a vibrant, collaborative network of eating disorder professionals—therapists, dietitians, advocates, and more—who are committed to learning from one another, growing together, and expanding access to inclusive care.
