Find Help for Eating Disorders: EDReferral.com Announcing a new Smartphone App to find treatment for Obesity, Anorexia, Bulimia and Binge Eating
The most popular app in the eating disorder arena is the new EDReferral.com treatment finder which makes it very easy to access all of the available treatment options for eating disorders right from your smartphone. The app was created by EDReferral.com, which is the only ED referral service NOT backed by a large corporation or trying to steer you into one particular eating disorder center.
EDReferral.com is a family-based referral service started by Christine Hartline, MA who herself is recovered from an eating disorder. This online referral service has been providing referrals since 1979 -- longer than any other eating disorder referral service.
"Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for individuals to find help and to have access to all of the options available for treatment and these new ED apps furthers that goal of making it easy to find a comprehensive resource for help,” said Ms. Hartline. "This is the resource I wish I had when I was struggling with an eating disorder--years ago there was no place to find and compare treatment options.”
The app will make it possible for young people who are always on their smartphone to access the resources they need to find help.
