NIED - NATIONAL INITIATIVE FOR EATING DISORDERS
The Caregiver Mentor Program
Caring for someone affected by an eating disorder can feel isolating. We match you with a trained mentor who has walked a similar path so you don't have to face it alone.
You Are Not Alone
You have carried so much, often without support of your own. There is a place built just for you.
What is the Caregiver Mentor Program?
CMP connects caregivers of people affected by eating disorders with trained volunteer mentors who understand, because they've been there. Every match is supported by our Program Lead.
Lived Experience
Mentors have walked a similar path and offer understanding that's hard to find elsewhere.
Real Connection
One to one support that meets your where you are, at your own pace.
Trusted and supported
