Resources

If you know someone who may be struggling with an eating disorder, they need professional help. Period.

Fortunately, there are great resources all over the web, providing answers to difficult questions, ways to approach an individual about the illness, links to support groups, treatment centers, and general information about eating disorders and eating disorder treatment levels of care. Knowledge is power, and we want YOU to be informed.

Scholarships

While traveling the country as Miss America, Kirsten heard firsthand, story after story, of young men and women who, with professional help, were able to recover from their eating disorder and embrace total wellness and health. Along with this truth however, comes the sad realization that treatment costs, largely not covered by health insurance, can be devastating. Residential treatment and/or inpatient care can be an individual’s only beacon of hope for recovery; their only chance at life. That treatment, however, comes at a significant cost. Part of the mission of KHF is to raise funds for treatment scholarships in order to provide hope for families and those waging the war on eating disorders (ED). You are not alone in this struggle.

PLEASE NOTE:

Due to funding, our scholarship application process for higher levels of care (HLOC) is on hold at this time. We continue our fundraising efforts and will resume this process as soon as possible. Please review the other scholarship resources listed below and check back again in the future if you are still in need of assistance for a HLOC.

Currently, we offer scholarships for our Virtual Transitional Living Program. If you have further questions, you may contact us through this form.

Blessings to you as you seek to find the resources you need in your recovery journey.

Please keep in mind that this is not an exhaustive list of resources, just something to get you started. If you or a loved one is struggling with a distorted view of their body, themselves, or their relationship with food and weight, the links above are a good start. No online resource however, can replace good professional help. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to a treatment provider near you for assistance — it’s as easy as picking up the phone and asking your doctor or family physician for some recommendations.
