TREATMENT PLACEMENT

Free, extended, and discounted treatment options in collaboration with our HEALers Circle partners.

Project HEAL’s Treatment Placement Program provides free, extended, and discounted eating disorder treatment in partnership with trusted providers. This program is designed for individuals who cannot access care due to financial limitations, insurance barriers, weight discrimination, or other systemic obstacles.

What is the Treatment Placement Program?

Project HEAL works with trusted treatment providers to offer free, extended, and steeply discounted eating disorder treatment to individuals facing financial and systemic barriers to care.

This program requires an application and review by Project HEAL. Applications are reviewed monthly to:


✔️ Assess financial need
✔️ Explore all available care options (insurance plans, in/out-of-network, etc.)
✔️ Identify additional barriers faced due to marginalized identities

Please note: Applying does not guarantee support. Due to high demand and limited resources, we distribute treatment opportunities based on our organizational commitment to equity.

About the Treatment Access Program

  • Is the Treatment Placement Program Right for You?

    This program may be a good fit if:


    You have received an eating disorder diagnosis but can’t access treatment due to financial limitations, size-based discrimination, insurance barriers, or other systemic issues.

    You know you need treatment and may even know the level of care required but need financial assistance to access it.

    You need a higher level of care but face discrimination or barriers and instead want to build a substantive outpatient team.
