Access to Eating Disorder Support Worldwide

At CoRe-ED, we believe that everyone with an eating disorder and their supporters should be able to find local support, whether at home or abroad.

Through our growing network spanning more than 45 countries, we are developing a country-based directory of eating disorder services and resources to make finding support easier.

With your help, we can continue expanding this resource so that more people can find relevant support wherever they are in the world.
