We measure the success of our eating disorder programs on how our clients: Become more self-aware of their body, feelings, and individual food triggers Deal with issues that are contributing to the disordered eating without using food Become more engaged in the outside world Identify emotional eating and substitute appropriate alternatives Focus on internal indicators of well-being rather than external ones Reduce obsessive thoughts of food, weight, finding diets that work, and body image Calm and center themselves and communicate their needs in an assertive, compassionate manner Use food for physical nourishment and understand the difference between physical hunger and emotional hunger Eat when hungry and stop when full Determine healthy portion sizes, make healthy food choices, and learn the effects of different foods on their bodies and emotions Our moral and staff mission is to reach as many people as we can to help in their journey to health and to educate as many families and professionals in how they can best help someone else.
