Join retired Navy Senior Chief Leah Stiles for an insightful presentation on the often-overlooked issue of eating disorders in the military. With a wealth of experience and a passion for mental health advocacy, Leah explores the unique challenges of military culture, from the pressures of fitness standards to the stigma surrounding seeking help. This talk is designed to empower attendees with actionable insights and strategies to foster a culture of support and understanding for those affected by eating disorders.

Leah will also introduce the inspiring concept behind SEA WAVES’ Lighthouse ProjectNeed a Light; Be a Light.

Individual Mentorship Applications Accepted
Mar 20 – Mar 25 all-day

We know you because we’ve been you

Are you seeking support from someone who understands what you are going through?  Through EDF’s mentorship program, we will match you with a mentor who has walked the path and understands the complexity of the recovery journey. This 10-week program will provide one-on-one support during weekly connections.  We strongly believe in the power of connection, meaningful conversations, and creating a community of like-minded individuals – factors we attribute to living a life in/towards recovery. We welcome individuals 16+ from all states in the US. Pairs may meet virtually or in person.

We at EDF are absolutely blown away by the massive interest in our blossoming mentorship program. We have received an unprecedented number of applications from members of the community who want to pursue recovery with us.

Please note that this program has a limited number of available mentors, so there is no guarantee you will be paired.  Mentee applicants not accepted this round may re-apply next quarter. You must be at least 16 years of age and a resident of the United States to apply.

How do I apply? 

Please view application instructions at https://www.eatingdisorderfoundation.org/get-help/request-a-mentor/
