Join us for Networking with a Purpose with Hidden River Eating Disorder Treatment THIS FRIDAY, October 17th from 12–1 PM!

When ADHD co-occurs with restrictive eating disorders like anorexia nervosa or ARFID, treatment becomes more nuanced. At this Networking with a Purpose, Dr. Jason Minion of Hidden River will specifically explore the role of medication - what’s effective, what risks to consider, and how to support recovery safely and compassionately.

Whether you’re a provider, a student, or someone passionate about ED care, you’re invited to connect with others and learn in community.

Some days you’ll feel momentum. Other days you’ll feel stuck. Both are part of healing.

Progress doesn’t mean never struggling again. Progress means continuing, even when it’s hard.

Recovery isn’t about perfection. It’s about persistence. It’s about showing up, one step at a time.

Today is National Coming Out Day!

Coming out is a deeply personal journey — and there is no one “right” way or time to do it. Whether you’re out, coming out, thinking about it, or not ready yet… you are valid, you are seen, and you are loved.

MEDA honors every person’s right to live authentically and safely — and we know that embracing your identity can take courage, support, and community.

And if you’re navigating an eating disorder or body image struggles, please know: you are not alone. We understand that identity and healing are deeply connected — and we’re here to support your whole self.

However you show up today, we see your strength. Your story matters. You matter.

Today is !

Everyone deserves access to care, compassion, and healing.

If you're struggling today, please know:
• You are not alone.
• Your feelings are valid.
• A life in recovery is possible — and support is out there.

For those affected by eating disorders, the path to recovery can feel overwhelming — but there is hope. Mental health challenges are real, and so is the strength it takes to face them.

If you or someone you know is in crisis, call or text 988 for free, 24/7, confidential support.

ARFID is a commonly misunderstood eating disorder that even clinicians are often looking for more support and understanding around. Most people in the U.S. live hours from the nearest feeding or eating clinic. This is why it’s crucial that more clinicians and providers understand and feel confident diagnosing and treating ARFID in their practice.

Enhance your understanding of ARFID and learn more about Equip’s treatment and outcomes:

We imagine growth as big, visible change. But often, healing happens in the quiet choices:

Choosing rest over guilt.
Setting a boundary.
Asking for help.
Challenging a thought that used to control you.

Small acts of courage count. Every quiet “yes” to yourself is growth.

Join us for Networking with a Purpose TOMORROW!

Despite the adage that picky eating is “just a phase”, many children don’t “grow out” of their picky eating habits. This presentation will focus on helping healthcare providers understand when picky eating is harmless or developmentally appropriate – and when it crosses the line to become an eating disorder known as avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder, or ARFID. This session is presented by Jessie Menzel, PhD VP, Clinical Programs at Equip.

PLEASE NOTE: This NWAP is from 12 pm to 1:30 pm EST. It provides 1.5 CE!
