For Providers

Our mission would not be possible without dedicated treatment professionals. General Practitioners are the frontline of care for most families and patients seeking help and treatment. The collective efforts of medical professionals, researchers, therapists, support groups and care givers are essential to protect against the dangers of eating disorders and the pursuit of a path to healing.

The information provided below is specific to treatment professionals. You will also find many useful articles on our About Eating Disorders page. We encourage you to start there and augment your reading with the resources covered here.

Amy's Gift is happy to mail info packets to any office and sponsors CME symposiums and other events on eating disorders for professionals and the general public each year. For more information on upcoming events, to request a packet or an office visit please contact us.
