Today is World Mental Health Day! 💜

At Rock Recovery, we believe that creating a world where everyone has access to compassionate, affordable, and inclusive mental healthcare starts with all of us. This World Mental Health Day, we encourage you to take a small step toward making a difference. ✨

Small acts of kindness, connection, and advocacy can create meaningful change. And together, we can build communities where asking for help is met with compassion, not judgment.

Today and every day, remember: Your mental health matters. Your experiences matter. And you deserve support.

College is a time for growth, independence, new friendships, and exciting experiences. But for students navigating eating disorder recovery, it can also bring unique challenges. 💜📚

Between academic pressures, changing routines, social expectations, and newfound independence, it can be easy to put your mental health and recovery needs on the back burner. But here's your reminder: You deserve to enjoy your college experience AND prioritize your recovery. 💚

In our latest guest blog, “5 Tips for Navigating College While in Eating Disorder Recovery,” Casey Tallent, PhD, of Eating Recovery Center shares practical ways students can protect their well-being while making the most of college life.

From building a support system and setting boundaries to making time for self-care and knowing when to ask for help, these reminders are valuable for college students, parents, and anyone supporting a young adult in recovery.

A little mid-week check-in from Rock Recovery. 💚

Sometimes, supporting your mental health starts with noticing the small moments that bring a little more joy, connection, or ease into your day. Maybe it was a text from a friend, a really good cup of coffee, a moment outside, something that made you laugh, or simply realizing you made it through something hard. Big or small, we want to hear it!

Last week, our Executive Director, Christie Dondero Bettwy, had the incredible opportunity to join in NYC for their recent event, A Conversation on AI & Eating Disorders.

It was an enlightening evening filled with a room of experts, advocates, clinicians, those with lived experience, and community partners who are dedicated to getting this conversation right, mitigating the very real potential harm AI can bring for those with eating disorders, and getting folks the support, treatment and information they need.

Grateful for our friends and partners at The Alliance and their incredible work (especially the one and only Johanna Kandel!).

Community is at the heart of everything we do at Rock Recovery. 💚💜

And this weekend was a beautiful reminder of just how powerful it can be to gather, connect, and show up for one another.

We had the joy of spending time with our incredible Rock community at our Fall Partner Reception, celebrating the impact we’ve made together and sharing our excitement for all that’s ahead. We are endlessly grateful for the donors, partners, and friends whose generosity and belief in our mission make greater access to eating disorder care possible.

Our own Kristyn, Director of Community Partnerships, also joined the Greater Prince William Coalition’s Walk & Talk Wellness, a women’s wellness walk where community members did exactly that: walked, talked, connected, and shared resources! 🌿

Different gatherings, same reminder: meaningful change happens in community. Whether you give, volunteer, share a resource, make an introduction, attend an event, or simply help someone feel less alone, you are part of this work.

Thank you to everyone who spent time with us this weekend, and to our entire Rock community for continuing to walk alongside us. We couldn’t do this without you. 🫶

A new month, a new set of gentle reminders for your recovery journey. 🍂💜

As the seasons change, remember that healing doesn’t have to happen all at once. Sometimes recovery looks like reaching out to someone you love. Sometimes it’s finding movement that feels joyful, making time for something that fills your cup, or asking for support when things feel hard.

Most importantly, keep believing that healing is possible and you are worthy of the life recovery can make room for. 🫶

Carry these reminders with you throughout October, and add your own: What’s one recovery reminder you need this month?

October is LGBTQIA+ History Month: a time to honor the stories, resilience, advocacy, and contributions of LGBTQIA+ communities, while also recognizing the work still needed to ensure everyone has access to affirming support and care. 💚

For people navigating eating disorders and mental health challenges, identity matters. LGBTQIA+ individuals can face unique stressors and barriers to care, making spaces where people feel seen, understood, affirmed, and supported especially important.

This month, we’re grateful to highlight several organizations in the eating disorder community offering support specifically for LGBTQIA+ individuals:

✨ National Alliance for Eating Disorders — LGBTQ+ Pro-Recovery Support Group
✨ ANAD — LGBTQIA+ Support Group
✨ The Emily Program — LGBTQ+ Pro-Recovery Support Group
✨ The Renfrew Center — SAGE (Sexuality and Gender Equality) Support Group

At Rock Recovery, we believe everyone deserves a place where they can show up fully as themselves and receive compassionate, inclusive support on their path toward healing. Help us celebrate LGBTQIA+ History Month by continuing to build communities where everyone has a seat at the table. 🌈
