LIMITED SPOTS AVAILABLE | BEGINS APRIL 15TH
Thursdays at 12:45 – 1:45 pm EST
At BALANCE eating disorder treatment center™, we are aware that eating disorders do not discriminate. They impact many individuals of various gender and sexual orientations, including those with LGBTQ+ identities. In fact, research has indicated that eating disorders disproportionately affect some portions of the LGBTQ+ community.
According to the National Eating Disorders Association, LGBTQ+ identified people face unique stressors and challenges that put them at risk for developing eating disorders.
BALANCE eating disorder treatment center™, located in the heart of New York City, is dedicated to the treatment of members of the LBGTQ+ community with eating disorders including anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder as well as disordered eating and body image concerns through our programs and services.
Additionally, our center has responded to the needs of the LGBTQ+ community with the creation of a group specifically for those struggling with eating disorders and body image concerns. Our LGBTQ+ Eating Disorder Recovery Group will offer a safe space for clients to process issues related to recovery and body image and is not limited to any specific eating disorder diagnosis.
The group is co-facilitated by BALANCE Dietitian Quinn Haisley, MS, RD, and Admissions Coordinator Caitlin Scafati, MA, MSW.
