Help those that suffer from eating disorders. The Joy Project

The goals of the ROOTS OF RECOVERY Program is to mimic some of the important features of an intensive outpatient program (minus the individual therapy and specific meal planning, because we are not licensed to provide those services). The extended support program is designed to give members the opportunity to socialize in a safe and supportive environment, to teach them skills which they can use for the recovery process, and to encourage them to reach out to others. Planned activities include: Yoga, self-defense classes, dance classes, kickboxing, and other physical activity (for those who are medically stable and wish to focus on physical activity that involves appreciating a strong body as opposed to simply burning calories), museum trips, movie nights, classes on basic nutrition, inspirational speakers, classes on assertiveness skills and building self-esteem, arts & crafts classes.
