LEAP4Asian is a Los Angeles-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to advancing eating disorder awareness and promoting culturally informed education and resources within Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) communities.
Addressing unique challenges in the AAPI community with eating disorders, LEAP4Asian 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.

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.
Our culturally-informed toolkit, curated with insights from AAPI dietitians, mental health providers, and eating disorder survivors, provides a tailored approach to recovery. LEAP is committed to guiding your journey with compassionate and relevant resources.
