SAMHSA’s Eating Disorder Center of Excellence

Nearly 30 million Americans currently face an eating disorder. SAMSHA’s Eating Disorder Center of Excellence (SAMHSA’s ED-CoE) focuses on equipping healthcare providers and the public with training and education to support individuals with eating disorders.

About SAMHSA’s Eating Disorder Center of Excellence

SAMHSA’s ED-CoE aims to develop and disseminate training and technical assistance (TTA) for healthcare professionals and greater eating disorder communities on prevention, treatment, and awareness. SAMHSA’s ED-CoE equips healthcare professionals and the public with the tools and resources to identify, treat, and support people with eating disorders.

Advancing Intervention Capabilities: Providing up to date, evidence-based strategies and approaches to clinically address EDs in various populations.

Educating Unique Audiences: Increasing public awareness of eating disorders through accurate, visually appealing, and broadly understandable information in products and SAMHSA approved websites.

Equipping Healthcare Providers: Producing high quality TTA for diverse healthcare clinicians.

Accelerating Public Health Solutions: Delivering accurate and actionable information to non-clinical communities including parents, teachers, coaches and more to promote prevention, early identification, and early intervention.

National Eating Disorders Awareness week (observed this year from Monday, February 24 to Sunday, March 2, 2025) is an opportunity to engage the wider community in the importance of advancing eating disorder education, prevention, and treatment.
