We have launched the second edition of our Freed Fellowship. 

We’re inviting psychologists of the future to be part of something that will give them the resources, sensitivity, and practical experience to work with persons with eating disorders and disordered eating patterns.

About Freed

Freed is a non-profit organization with the ambitious vision of bringing long term change in India by encouraging conversations and action around eating disorders. We rely on the 3 pillars of education, research and advocacy to further our mission every day.

For psychology students today, learning needs to keep pace with the times & go beyond the classroom. With inadequate research on eating disorders in India, fewer professionals are equipped to manage the challenges of diagnosing & educating others on managing eating disorders.The aim of the Freed Fellowship is to recognise and train the next generation of young specialists with the resources, sensitivity and practical experience they need to work with persons with eating disorders and disordered eating patterns.
