Solutions Through Advocacy and Reform (or commonly referred to as STAR), is a movement started by NEDA (National Eating Disorder Association) to raise awareness of eating disorders and to promote better research funding and insurance support.
This program is hugely important in the saving and betterment of millions of lives.
As stated before, insurance companies have a rather foul track record when it comes to eating disorder recovery funding. This is something that is unacceptable for the health of incredible amounts of people, and it is something that needs to change.
The out-of-pocket expenses for the saving of one's life is completely unreasonable.
Through showing your support for this movement, you will be supporting increased awareness, available treatment, changes in the insurance's role in recovery, and many more very beneficial factors - many of which would be very easy to implement, such as screenings in schools akin to vision and hearing tests already practiced to catch early signs of eating disorders.
Every single supportive hand is invaluable in this program.
