 N.A.M.E.D.'s mission is to provide support to males with eating disorders, to educate the public on the issue, and to be a resource of information on the subject.
Established in 2006, N.A.M.E.D. is the only organization exclusively dedicated to providing support to males with eating disorders and involved in public awareness initiatives to make people more aware of the issue.
With a lack of attention, research, support, and prevention directed to boys and men with eating disorders, N.A.M.E.D. plays a vital role in filling this gap by providing information and support to this population and those who care about them.
N.A.M.E.D.'s vision is to become a clearinghouse of information on the subject. As a clearinghouse of information on males and eating disorders, N.A.M.E.D. wishes to provide valuable and helpful information on the topic to males with eating disorders and their families, to treatment providers, medical and mental health professionals, educators, and the community.
N.A.M.E.D. will provide information and support through its website, toll-free helpline, support groups, workshops, speaking opportunities, and advocating for prevention education programs.
N.A.M.E.D. Needs Your Help
To help N.A.M.E.D. be a valuable resource, we need your help. We encourage researchers to share their studies with us, for health care professionals to share their experiences in counseling boys and men with eating disorders, and for males with eating disorders and their families to share their experiences.
