Registration is open for the 2026 Eating Disorders Association of Maine Conference, and we would love to see you there!

This year’s theme, Food, Body, and Mind Liberation: Fostering Resiliency in a Diet Culture World, invites us to think critically about the systems, messages, and clinical practices that shape how people experience food, bodies, and eating disorder care.

Join us on Friday, September 25, 2026, at The Green Ladle in Lewiston for a full day of learning, connection, and meaningful conversation.

The day will include:

• Keynote presentation from Ragen Chastain
• Sessions on diet culture, GLP-1 medications, shape and weight concerns, and common nutrition myths
• An interactive “Ask the Experts” panel
• Opportunities to connect with eating disorder professionals and community members from across Maine and beyond
• Morning coffee, lunch, and afternoon refreshments

The conference is pending approval for 6 CEUs through the Commission on Dietetic Registration and the Maine Psychological Association.

Whether you are a dietitian, therapist, psychologist, physician, student, educator, advocate, or community member, we hope you will join us for a day centered on more compassionate, inclusive, and weight-inclusive care.

A fresh online home for the Eating Disorders Association of Maine 💙
We partnered with EDAM to redesign and reorganize their Squarespace website, making it easier for individuals, families, providers, and community members to find treatment resources, educational information, events, and ways to get involved.
The result is a calmer, clearer, and more accessible website that reflects EDAM’s mission of support, hope, and healing throughout Maine.
Our work included custom web design, website strategy, resource directory development, SEO, and ongoing website support.

We’re so thrilled to announce Ragen Chastain, MEd as the keynote speaker for the EDAM 2026 Conference! 👏

Ragen will be presenting on Body Image and Eating Disorders in the “Age of Ozempic”, a timely and much-needed conversation about diet culture, weight stigma, GLP-1 medications, and the real implications for eating disorder prevention, treatment, and recovery.

Ragen is a speaker, writer, researcher, Board Certified Patient Advocate, and leading voice in weight science, weight stigma, health, and healthcare. Her work brings together rigorous science, clear communication, and deep compassion in a way that challenges harmful narratives and expands how we think about care.

She’ll also be joining us for a Q&A, panel discussion, and meet-and-greet/networking.
