Two Girls

“Taking the program at the EDCSD has been the most rewarding part of my recovery process. Not only have they led me on a path of discovering myself, they have provided an environment in which I at last feel valuable, even lovable. I learned that I don’t have to fear my feelings because it is only with them that I truly heal. Because of their commitment to me and my recovery, I have found hope and healing in the midst of an eating disorder.”
