Mentors*: Are you in sustained recovery (at least one year largely free from symptoms of disordered eating behaviors) and desiring to grow in your own recovery by sharing your strength, experience and hope as a mentor with someone coming up behind you on the path to recovery? Guidelines

Mentees**: Are you seeking an eating disorders mentor - someone who has stood in your shoes and can help to guide you through the recovery process? Guidelines


If so, this is your place to connect.

PLEASE NOTE: We are currently receiving FAR more emails from those requesting a mentor than from those willing to serve as a mentor. Please be patient with us as we grow!

In the meantime, you may also be interested in our FREE online support community, Behind this Mask: there is someone real, where you can support one another in your mutual desire to recover. All you need to do to join is to set up a free myspace profile, and then send us an add request.

HOW IT WORKS: Send us an email and let us know who you are, where you are in your recovery, and what you are looking for (to be a mentor or a mentee).

Details you might want to include: your email address, your first name (or alias for confidentiality), age, gender, type of eating disorder, any other recovery-related issues you are working on, length of illness, length of time pursuing recovery, current support team, recovery goals, key learnings from your recovery journey thus far, anything else you wish to share.

Then, check HERE frequently to connect with one another!

Any questions - email us and we will do our best to answer them for you!
