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.
