Early intervention is critical.Research shows the sooner someone gets treatment, the more likely they are to recover and the less likely they are to relapse.

Getting the right treatment matters.After working within a broken system, we built the treatment we knew needed to exist: accessible, evidence-based care, laser-focused on sustainable recovery.

Dad of a 16-year old with anorexia

Anorexia felt like trekking through a dense jungle – overwhelming. Equip lifted the fog and handed us the map.

Dad of a 12-year-old with anorexia

Equip was there for us day and night. Any time we needed help they held our hands and walked us through the darkness; all we had to do was trust their professional expertise.

Sister of a 19-year old woman with anorexia

Not only did Equip help me with the day to day treatment of my child's eating disorder, but I also felt like I was no longer alone in the fight.

Mother of a 15-year-old with anorexia

This has been the missing link on our journey. The convenience of scheduling; virtual options; complete team of providers; it is saving my daughter's life.

Mother of a 13-year-old girl with ARFID

I love the team approach that touches every aspect. Their positive approach has inspired my son to want to improve and take a lot of the initiative to do so himself.

Our work is getting attentionWhat's being said about Equip in the press

Equip is Saffran’s brainchild, created in collaboration with cofounder Erin Parks, Ph.D., a clinical psychologist and researcher. Traditional mental health does not yet differentiate between treatment that feels good and treatment that actually works. The fully virtual platform is designed to make [treatment] accessible for anyone who has an eating disorder.Read More

Eating disorder survivors are some of the best advocates and may be our best hope for long-term healing. Kristina Saffran—who, as a teenager, founded Project HEAL, a non-profit that helps people find treatment and helps pay for it—went on to create Equip Health, an online treatment for eating disorders that takes insurance and provides patients with a five-person care team: therapist, dietician, physician, peer mentor, and family mentor. Having been in and out of treatment herself, one of her top priorities is recovery maintenance and the mentors are the “secret sauce,” to this as she put it to me, having someone in your corner who’s been through it.Read More

Instead of removing the patient from the home, Equip uses a virtual, family-based treatment model to build recovery into daily schedules.Read More

It has been really the privilege of our lifetimes to start Equip and watch people get better. The lights are coming back on. Kids are remembering who they are outside their eating disorder.Read More

During the pandemic, eating disorders skyrocketed among teens. Now, investors are putting their money behind a startup that hopes to help kids and young adults work with their families to recover from this ailment.Read More

Generalized therapy may only cover the psychological component of an eating disorder, but Equip combines psychiatric, dietary, medical, practical, and therapeutic support for the best results.Read More
