Breaking Barriers. Building Bridges. Saving Lives.
Project HEAL is the only national nonprofit removing systemic, financial, and healthcare barriers to eating disorder treatment so everyone has a chance to heal.
Why Project HEAL Exists
Eating disorders are the second most deadly mental illness, yet millions can’t access the care they need. Cost, insurance limitations, systemic inequities, and stigma keep too many people from life-saving treatment.
Project HEAL exists to change that.
We remove financial barriers through Cash Assistance, helping people afford treatment when insurance and resources fall short.
We remove systemic barriers through Case Management, guiding individuals through complex systems to unlock access to care.
We remove healthcare barriers by connecting people to trusted providers through Treatment Placement, Meal Support, Community Care, and InformED Clinical Training.
30 million people in the united states struggle with a diagnosed eating disorder
Eating disorders are the 2nd most fatal mental illness, second to Opioid Use Disorder
80% of people with eating disorders will never receive treatment
“Project HEAL is such an important part of my story. It played a part in saving my life when every other door to treatment was closed on me. The work being done is life-saving and life-changing.”
