08 Sep Podcast – Hope in Action: Advocacy, Education & Family Support in Eating Disorder Care
In this compelling episode of iaedp Voices, Executive Director Dawn Gannon and iaedp President Dr. Eva Trujillo are joined by two powerhouse leaders in the eating disorders field:
- Judy Krasna, Executive Director of FEAST (Families Empowered and Supporting Treatment of Eating Disorders)
- Johanna Kandel, Founder and CEO of the National Alliance for Eating Disorders
Together, these four voices dive deep into what’s not working and what absolutely must change. From urgent calls for earlier detection and access to care to the often-overlooked role of caregivers and community support, this episode explores how collaboration across organizations can save lives.
Key discussion points include:
- Why silos in our field are hurting, not helping, and what a truly unified system could look like
- The power of integrating lived experience, family insight, and advocacy into clinical education
- How FEAST and the Alliance are scaling support services in the face of rising demand
- What a “memorandum of understanding” between leading organizations could mean for real, measurable change
Whether you’re a clinician, advocate, parent, or person in recovery, this is a conversation about hope in action, and what’s possible when we stop competing and start building together.
Listen now and be part of the movement that says: not one more..
