If you have a friend who is dealing with negative body image or eating disorder bahaviors, it is often difficult to know how to approach the issue. People often avoid it because they have no idea what to do.

The National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) works to provide information and tips to help people with eating disorders and those who love them understand and address it. They publish numerous educational pieces on various issues around eating disorders like anorexia, bulimia, body image, exercise addiction, purging, binge eating disorder, ED NOS, eating disorder treatment and much more.
