EATING DISORDERS

@gailschoenbach joined us today to talk about her personal experiences and the value of eating disorder treatment. Gail is the founder of Mental Health Directs, which provides support for mental health challenges. She is also a mental health consultant. Gail is a recovered bulimic and an activist for eating disorder causes. After receiving treatment for a 24 year battle with bulimia, Gail founded the F.R.E.E.D. Foundation in 2002; a non-profit organization that assists families with financial support for treatment, as well as provides educational resources to others suffering from eating disorders and advocate for a public awareness campaign. Gail has won awards for her contributions and her story has been featured in national magazines, and television programs. We were so lucky to have this conversation with her today. Thank you so much for shedding light on this important topic.
