Multi-Services Eating Disorders Association (MEDA)

The Multi-service Eating Disorders Association is a national nonprofit organization that treats people who suffer from eating disorders and works to prevent the proliferation of eating disorders within our society.

MEDA takes a three-pronged approach to diminishing the pervasiveness of eating disorders, uniquely offering a combination of education, prevention and treatment. It provides education through professional training and scholastic teaching, recovery and treatment through assessments, referrals, and support group therapy sessions, and prevention through academic and public education. Based in Newton, Mass., and established in 1994, MEDA is a critically necessary organization that annually serves thousands of people from across the nation.

Many of MEDA’s professional staff, clinicians, and volunteers have recovered from eating disorders and have earned degrees and professional certifications in health, human resources, social work, medicine, psychology, and/or education.
