Description:
Eating Disorder Recovery Group

A new therapy group beginning June, 2003, for adult women who are currently recovering from anorexia, bulimia or binge-eating disorder. The group will meet once weekly. Cost: $30.00 per session. Time and day will be based on client interest and availability. The purpose of the group is to prevent relapse, and to assist those who have struggled with an eating disorder to continue on their path toward growth.

Goals: 1. To help clients stay alert to possible relapse triggers, and to create more healthful solutions. 2. To provide a supportive environment in which clients can continue to challenge the troublesome feelings, thoughts and behaviors that persist long after disordered eating has diminished. 3. To reduce social isolation, and encourage an interactive experience in which clients can work through interpersonal difficulties.

An initial screening interview is required, and participants must have at least three months of recovery, or have recently been discharged from an outpatient or hospital program. Those who have had many years of recovery are also welcome. For further information, or to set up an interview, please call the facilitator, Bette Ozburn-Hazard, LMFT / eating disorder survivor, at 909 392-3731

Group members are encouraged to use the group to work through interpersonal challenges. Topics such as family, trauma, relationships, and daily challenges are discussed.

An initial screening interview is required. For further information please call the facilitator, Bette Ozburn-Hazard LMFT at 909 392-3731
