Empowering the AAPI (Asian American and Pacific Islander) community with targeted resources and support for eating disorder recovery.
LEAP aspires to empower AAPI (Asian American and Pacific Islander) individuals impacted by eating disorders, offering a supportive space and culturally informed resources for a relatable journey to recovery.
Addressing unique challenges in the AAPI community with eating disorders, LEAP offers support against the societal stigma of mental illness and the lack of culturally informed recovery resources. We bridge the gap left by traditional North American approaches, providing a culturally sensitive platform for discussion and recovery for conditions like anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, ARFID, and more.
Challenges for AAPI individuals affected by Eating Disorders
Eating disorders in the AAPI community are often overshadowed by societal stigma and a lack of cultural understanding. These challenges necessitate a culturally informed approach to treatment and open dialogue.
Culturally-Informed Tool Kit for Recovery
Our culturally-informed toolkit, curated with insights from AAPI dieticians, mental health providers, and ED survivors, provides a tailored approach to recovery. LEAP for AAPI is committed to guiding your journey with compassionate and relevant resources.
