Free Virtual Eating Disorder Recovery Friends and Family Sessions Offered by The Emily Program in Georgia

Sessions designed to provide education, encouragement, and connection for people supporting loved ones through eating disorder recovery

The Emily Program in Atlanta invites Georgia families to participate in Friends and Family Sessions free, virtual gatherings open to the public twice a month.

The sessions are designed to provide education, encouragement, and connection for people supporting loved ones through eating disorder recovery. They offer a safe place to ask questions, share concerns, and gain new strategies for providing support.

“Families in Georgia deserve resources and connection as they support their loved ones,” said Becka Eckstein, Senior Regional Director of The Emily Program in the Southeast. “Our Friends and Family Sessions give them both so no one has to feel like they’re navigating this journey on their own.”
