Alumni and Family Support
Eating Recovery Center’s Community Outreach Liaisons are dedicated to supporting alumni and their family members throughout their eating disorder recovery journey. The overall goal is to provide you, and your loved ones, with the resources needed to aid in your eating disorder recovery. This is done through periodic follow up phone calls/emails, community events, online resources and support groups.
Monthly Communications
Eating Recovery Center offers email communications from our Community Outreach Liaison Team, all of which highlight different resources including virtual support groups, upcoming events, blogs, Mental Note podcast and additional hands-on practical tools. This entire team is dedicated to working with both patients and their families, ensuring you continue to have supportive touchpoints after you discharge from treatment. Whether you need words of encouragement or referrals for outpatient treatment, our team is here to support you.
Caring for You in Recovery
Our Community Outreach Liaison Team believes in you - and your support system. We are here to provide you with the tools you need to continue on your road toward recovery. We know that it won't always be perfect - but also that you are strong and deserving of a life of light and love. We are also here to provide your family and caregivers with the tools they need to support you, from education and webinars, to articles and support groups created just for the support people of loved ones in treatment.
If I could pick one thing that Eating Recovery Center taught me, it would definitely be 'fearless.' You gave me the recovery tools to run after my problems, to catch them, and solve the issue. I am able to celebrate my body with kindness and passion. Thank you, Eating Recovery Center for not only saving my life but, for giving me a full life of gratitude. Thank you!

Having that validation 'You've changed as a person' from your treatment team was so cool to receive.

Events for Alumni
Join us for events and support groups created to help provide you with encouragement and support on your path toward recovery.
ERC helped me begin to see my value as a woman outside of my body and race. They helped me see that I was enough no matter what others said or did. Not only did my body undergo a beautiful transformation in treatment, but so did my heart and mind.
Recovery Ambassadors
A select group of ERC alumni and family members have been invited to serve on our Recovery Ambassador Council. Our Council members have come forward to share their personal recovery story as a way to help destigmatize and normalize eating disorders and mental health issues. These passionate members speak from the heart and inspire hope for full recovery.
Members of the Recovery Ambassador Council are available for speaking opportunities in education settings and to various audiences.
