F.E.A.S.T

Families Empowered and Supporting Treatment of Eating Disorders
http://feast-ed.org/

This is the synopsis from the website: "FEAST is a nonprofit organization of and for parents and caregivers to help loved ones recover from eating disorders by providing information and mutual support, promoting evidence-based treatment, and advocating for research and education to reduce the suffering associated with eating disorders."

This is a new organization supporting the families of children with eating disorders. I am already a member. There is a wealth of information and support available on the site. They have links which include services, research, insurance, treatment resources, and a support forum for parents and other caregivers. They are poised to be huge advocates for change in both political and media arenas.

In some ways, the FEAST website is a lot like I hope to see this site - a compilation of the best information and support out there.
