Missouri Eating Disorders Association

The Missouri Eating Disorders Association (MOEDA) is a non-profit organization based in St. Louis, Missouri, dedicated to combating eating disorders. With a small team of three employees, MOEDA has made a significant impact, generating $2.5 million in annual revenue. MOEDA provides a range of services and resources aimed at individuals and families affected by eating disorders. These include educational programs, support groups, and information on treatment options. The organization also actively advocates for policy changes and increased awareness surrounding eating disorders. One of MOEDA's key initiatives is the "Real Skinny: Professional Development Workshop," which trains educators, coaches, and counselors in early intervention strategies for eating disorders. MOEDA's advocacy efforts have resulted in the establishment of the Missouri Eating Disorders Council, a state-level body dedicated to studying and raising awareness about eating disorders.
