Adolescent Support Group
A Specialized Group for Adolescents Dealing With Eating Disorders and Related Issues,
our group offers an innovative approach to treatment. The group process is used to address
the psycho-emotional issues which underlie eating
disorders. A focus of the group will be on the development of life skills that will help
young adults deal with the feelings, thoughts, and
developmental issues which must be addressed for their recovery to be accomplished. We
offer young adults a safe, non-threatening forum
for addressing problem eating behavior and related issues.
