Encouraging Words from Families Participating in the
Family and Friends Group Program and those seeing results in their loved one.

"Susan's recovery has been absolutely amazing. She is truly a success story. Susan has shown the courage to face all the unpleasant, uncomfortable and difficult parts of her life. By working through these, she has gained control of her emotions. She now allows herself
to truly feel them and deal with them. Susan now realizes that it's not about the food, the calories, the weight or the extreme exercise. Way to go Susan! Her new outlook on life is so positive and healthy. She is such an inspiration. I am so proud of you Susan! You have done what so many wish they could do." Your personal friend, Mary-Anne

"I came to the group to gain understanding of how to support my loved one. I received education to do that, but I also learned some amazing life changing skills when introduced to boundary setting." Pat

"It was helpful to receive feedback from other families going through similar situations." Erica

"I came to figure out what I could do to support my loved one and just to deal with our situation. I gained support from our Facilitator, Lida and from other parents. The group provided guidance as to how to cope/deal with a loved one. I also gained some areas of personal improvement or insight into some basic dynamics affecting my self and family in positive or negative ways. I gained some friends and a healthier perspective and focus and learned some personal goal setting techniques. Very educational." Nina

"We learned a lot about the “do’s” and “don’ts” around the types of foods to keep in the house, questioning and second guessing what our loved one has eaten/not eaten. We also learned so much about healthy diet/exercise, shame vs. guilt and self-esteem." Mark
