OUR
MISSION
Eating Disorders Support is a
website designed to give you hope and encouragement if you or someone you know
or love has anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or an overeating disorder.
The mission of Eating Disorders Support is
fourfold:
(1) to provide you with information
regarding the etiology and treatment of eating disorders,
(2) to encourage you if you have an eating disorder as you face the challenges of recovery,
(3) to
provide a safe place for you to ask questions about how to find help,
(4) to provide
resources that may help you in the journey toward health and freedom from eating
disorder behaviors.
So, we invite you to browse our website. If
you have any question about eating disorders or recovery, please e-mail us at
help@eatingdisorderssupport.com.

OPEN GROUP INFORMATION!!
If you have had an eating disorder for a
year or more and would like to work on some of the more complex, challenging
issues common to people who have lived with an eating disorder for awhile,
this group is designed for you. If you are feeling discouraged about
the recovery process, this group is designed to give you hope.
The open group is more than a support
group because there will be opportunities to discuss and address emotional
issues, but less intense than a therapy group because the members vary from
week to week. People who are new to the group are welcome and will be
oriented to how the group works and expected to follow along with the group
process until they catch up.
The focus of the group is personal growth
issues. Sharing of eating disorder behaviors tends to foster
competition and regression so will not be tolerated.
The fee for the group is $25.00.
Payment (check or cash) is required before the group starts. Insurance
will not be billed for this group as it cannot be billed as group
psychotherapy.
The group meets on the 2nd and 4th
Wednesdays from 5:30 to 6:30 PM in The Globe Building, 9725 SE 36th St,
#301, Mercer Island, WA 98040. Call 206-232-8404 for more information.

THE HOPELINE
Click on the heart
 to read TRIUMPH,
the inspirational poem about recovery
from an eating disorder.
About twenty years ago, Kim Lampson facilitated a support group for people
with eating disorders and their families. The group met every two weeks and the
people attending wanted there to
be some connection in between times. In response, Kim began writing a
newsletter to give hope and encouragement to the people in recovery and their
families.
