Eating Disorders Recovery Support
A site for all who wish to recover from eating disorders
Our goals:
1. Reduce the shame and stigma currently attached to eating disorders and mental illness.
2. Improve access to care for those suffering from eating disorders in the form of support groups, advocacy, and screening for eating disorders.
3. Lobby our representatives for improved coverage for psychiatric illness and ultimately mental health parity.
As we plan our speaker schedule for 2010; we are please to announce that we are featuring Stephanie Covington Armstrong, author of Not All Black Girls Know How to Eat as our celebrity guest speaker! For more information, see our speakers page!
What recovery feels like...freedom! Feel free to live your own life. Be free to be yourself.
