"SIX STAGES TO RECOVERY: FROM DENIAL TO THE NEW SELF"

Thursday, March 6, AT 7:30PM 

19 West 34th Street, Third Floor, Suite 301, New York City

 

First Things First For Eating Disorders is a free monthly interactive motivational workshop for those affected by an Eating Disorder.  This popular group program was developed and is led by veteran Psychotherapist and eating disorders specialist William Skerker, LCSW, LRSW, and is Co-Administered by Ellen Schieren who provides personalized phone help and support. Many attendees have reported that First Things First has helped them increase their sense of self-worth, and that it has bolstered their commitment to decisions and behaviors leading to healthier and more fulfilling lives.

 

First Things First For Eating Disorders delivers a pro-treatment and pro-recovery message.  It asks key questions about what you truly want, what your agendas might be, and helps participants identify and overcome obstacles and conflicts that prevent them from reaching their goals.  Each First Things First topic reflects a theoretical position and its practical application for Eating Disordered individuals seeking permanent recovery.

 

First Things First For Eating Disorders is free of charge, and free of obligation.  Your one-time email or phone registration allows you to attend as many meetings as you would like without re-registering.  Your personal information will remain private, and you will receive an email reminder announcing the topic before each meeting. Each monthly meeting is held on a Thursday evening at 7:30 PM in Manhattan at 19 West 34th Street, in Suite 301, on the Third Floor. See below for upcoming meeting dates.
