At The Emily Program we know recovery is possible, often from personal experience. We enjoy hearing former clients, community members, and even our peers talk about their journey to recovery from an eating disorder. Gathering together as a community provides another level of support. It provides a forum that is safe, inspiring, and powerful.

This month we will hold Recovery Night in St. Paul, MN and Seattle, WA. You can check our website for all dates and locations of future Recovery Nights.

Meet Erin: Erin will tell the story of how her eating disorder took root in the early belief that she wasn’t enough. She’ll share how feeling like she didn’t belong pushed her further into the disorder and how recovery has helped her identify her innate value and worth.
