Alaska Eating Disorders Alliance

The Alaska Eating Disorders Alliance (AKEDA) is an Alaska-based nonprofit that helps people affected by eating disorders and promotes healthier body image. Its mission is to provide help and inspire hope by engaging diverse communities in education, advocacy, and support. The organization connects Alaskans with practical ways to seek care and find community, including local support groups, a provider list covering services in and outside Alaska, and a resource directory. Its website also offers information about types of eating disorders, books, videos, and the Nine Truths About Eating Disorders, alongside prevention resources and guidance on building body confidence.

AKEDA supports learning for individuals and providers through educational materials, upcoming trainings, and expert-led Project ECHO sessions on considerations in eating disorder prevention, care, and recovery. Live sessions offer continuing education or continuing medical education credit. The alliance also invites community members to share their stories, subscribe to its newsletter, follow its social media updates, and contribute through donations.
