First Things First For Eating
Disorders is a free monthly interactive motivational workshop for those
affected by an Eating Disorder. This popular group program was developed
and is led by veteran Psychotherapist and eating disorders specialist William
Skerker, LCSW, LRSW, and is Co-Administered by Ellen Schieren who provides
personalized phone help and support. Many attendees have reported that First
Things First has helped them increase their sense of self-worth, and that it
has bolstered their commitment to decisions and behaviors leading to healthier
and more fulfilling lives.
First Things First For Eating
Disorders delivers a pro-treatment and pro-recovery message. It asks key
questions about what you truly want, what your agendas might be, and helps
participants identify and overcome obstacles and conflicts that prevent them
from reaching their goals. Each First Things First topic reflects a
theoretical position and its practical application for Eating Disordered
individuals seeking permanent recovery.
First Things First For Eating
Disorders is free of charge, and free of obligation. Your one-time email
or phone registration allows you to attend as many meetings as you would like
without re-registering. Your personal information will remain private,
and you will receive an email reminder announcing the topic before each
