About ROAED

Our Beginning
Three friends were compelled by the growing need in the New York metropolitan area for more accessible and affordable help for those facing eating disorders. We believe that those suffering, as well as their family and friends, should be able to find the knowledge and support necessary to achieve a happy and healthy life. We recognize that this is not something that can be done alone, and that individuals need each other for mutual support. Therefore, we wanted to be able to provide weekly support groups free of charge, in addition to offering other services, tools for prevention, and promoting increased awareness of this growing epidemic.

 

Our Goal
Our goal is to forge ahead in the battle against eating disorders. We would like everyone suffering to receive the help they need and deserve so that each individual is given the chance to break free from their eating disorder. Of equal importance is preventing others from developing this disease.

 

What We Do
We are "reaching out" to the New York metropolitan area to help individuals and society as a whole in the battle against eating disorders.

We are dedicated to providing help to individuals battling eating disorders, as well as addressing the needs of families and friends. We offer free weekly support groups, a mentoring program for friends and family of those with an eating disorder, referral services, and helpful information. In addition, we are working towards increasing public awareness and prevention of eating disorders through community education.
