National Eating Disorders Awareness Week |

By intervening early when patterns of disordered eating or symptoms of an eating disorder first appear, we can get individuals into needed care quickly and increase the chances of recovery.
If you worry a family member or a friend has symptoms of an eating disorder – don’t wait. Act early. Reach out and talk to them and help them get into treatment as soon as possible.
Resources are available for family members and friends

Join the HHS Office on Women’s Health for a conversation about eating disorder screening and treatment. Dr. Christine Peat, Director of the National Center for Excellence in Eating Disorders (NCEED), will discuss Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment for Eating Disorders (SBIRT-ED).
The SBIRT-ED is a comprehensive tool to help physicians and healthcare workers manage eating disorders in their practice. SBIRT-ED provides an evidence-based screening tool, practical tips on how to talk about eating disorders, and a step-by-step guide for connecting patients to specialty care in their area.
