How to Help a Friend with an Eating Disorder with the Dear Me Team
Anna L. and Elizabeth chat with Aerin Atinsky and Alexa Moses, two of the founders and directors of Dear Me, an affiliate program of the National Alliance for Eating Disorders.
They discuss:
- Why eating disorder rates have skyrocketed over the last several years, especially in the case of teens.
- What a teen or young adult can do if they are worried about a friend's eating behaviors, or know that their friend has an eating disorder.
- How to handle a situation where someone’s friend is talking about restricting certain foods or going on a diet.
- What parents need to hear if they are worried about their teen - either their eating or negative comments they’ve made about their body.

About Dear Me: At Dear Me, we have identified the epidemic of struggles with body image, disordered eating, and eating disorders facing our youth today. Dear Me’s vision is to change the mindset of generations to come by working to counteract the cause of these struggles. By starting from a young age, we take preventative measures to educate and support children who have experienced or have seen others experience struggles with body image, disordered eating, and eating disorders. We integrate programming into school curricula so we can support and educate students through non-isolating environments they won’t feel singled out. Ultimately, we are for the youth by the youth with an education covering these topics in as many schools as possible across the world. By setting up various chapters of Dear Me using student voices, Dear Me serves as an international community of discourse, help, and support. Ultimately, Dear Me is a program that will provide education and support that will change the culture of eating disorders and body image today.
