WELCOME

At A Place of Our Own, we encourage you not to be silenced by shame and secrecy…

OUR MISSION:

To be an effective resource in the prevention and elimination of eating disorders through education, support, and advocacy.

WE'RE HERE FOR YOU

There’s no shortage of help. You can choose recovery.

RECOVERY IS A LIFE-LONG JOURNEY

CHANGES MAKE A DIFFERENCE

No matter how small you believe the changes are, make the move now to be informed and supported by others.

WE KNOW FROM PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

It takes dedication to support and guidance to make change happen.

CREATE YOUR STORY

Expressing yourself through art in any way you choose can bring clarity and understanding.

A PLACE OF OUR OWN

For our community in the community – a safe, homelike place for rebuilding, replenishing and recovery.

WE'RE DEDICATED TO REBUILDING LIVES

We began as a single support group devoted to the families and friends of those who suffer from eating disorders.

A SPRINGBOARD FOR FRIENDSHIPS

Support groups provide a safe place for individuals and families to grow and learn from one another.

TELL YOUR STORY

Share your story and help EDF raise critical funds for its programs and services by creating a fundraiser and asking your network to give.

Tell me more

Alongside substance use, eating disorders are the deadliest of all mental illnesses – yet they remain widely misunderstood.  Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and their variants, consist of severe disturbances in eating behavior and weight management. They often coexist with other mental illnesses, such as depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The consequences of eating disorders are serious and can be life-threatening.
