Please consider a donation to help 'fill the gap' in local services. There is a great need for an Upstate NY eating disorder residential program. All adolescents currently need to go at least 5 hours away for residential treatment, and the majority have to go out of state, leaving behind their families, friends, and health care team. A GoFundMe site has been set up toward this goal: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-fill-the-gap-teen-residential-treatment

For more information about residential treatment for Western NY, go to: https://www.thehealingconnectioninc.org/residential-program

World Eating Disorders Action Day is a grassroots movement designed for and by people affected by an eating disorder, their families, and the medical and health professionals who support them. Uniting activists across the globe, the aim is to expand global awareness of eating disorders as genetically linked, treatable illnesses that can affect anyone.

The WNYCCCED fulfills its education and outreach mission primarily through Project ECHO Eating Disorders, a virtual learning community to increase community providers' knowledge and skill at treating and supporting people with eating disorders and their families. Project ECHO started at the Univ. of NM and has spread around the world, increasing knowledge to better serve people in remote places that don't have the resources they need. This video from the ECHO Institute shows how it is being used in India and Namibia today, as examples: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__unm.us15.list-2Dmanage.com_track_click-3Fu-3D0a75704ef6816d86a64d5a1b1-26id-3D912d3d105a-26e-3D214c47da0b&d=DwMFaQ&c=4sF48jRmVAe_CH-k9mXYXEGfSnM3bY53YSKuLUQRxhA&r=7RasX_1DkSDo95lIwMXpzhN8kW5cJ7L6ff46Qd1-ebM&m=TCRj7FQokxMPUvO_m1f9_xdH7V5b_hNiJ44W8TNOkyo&s=hB0r20ZPCdhTSiAs1OKwlS-wBf_-ZTv2cvLCahC0ad0&e= Contact [email protected] for more information
