National and International Eating Disorder Organisations for Professionals
Updated 16-08-04
Here's a list of national organisations I know about for professionals working with eating disorders. There are also a couple of international organisations. They offer a range of facilities and resources, including training, conferences, networking, email mailing lists and so on. I'd be interested to hear about other organisations in the many parts of the world which aren't currently covered. You can email me or leave a comment below.
Organisations aimed at people suffering from EDs and their carers are listed in a separate post.
