How MentorCONNECT Works
When you join MentorCONNECT, you will be joining the very first global, online, pro-recovery, eating disorders mentoring community. You will also find your new community to be one of the most warmly welcoming, supportive online communities you have ever encountered.
MentorCONNECT was created to put a name and a face to the hope that we feel when we meet someone else who understands how it feels to stand in our shoes - without us having to explain. The fulfillment, gratitude, and joy that our members express on a daily basis speaks volumes for the gift of being able to receive help, and then to one day turn around to give help to someone else as well. We call this the power of "paying it forward".
At MentorCONNECT, we are passionate about the power of pro-recovery. Our Pro-Recovery Talk Rocks Campaign empowers each member to take personal responsibility and accountability for the recovery journey.
We experience first-hand how solutions-oriented, proactive communications foster good self-care and self-respect that leads to lasting recovery. Our experienced members help to welcome and orient new members who may join after being exposed to pro-eating disorders online communities. We know that there is always something we can do - and say - to help ourselves believe in and achieve our recovery goals.
Our mentoring teams follow the "Mentor Model" as outlined in Beating Ana: How to Outsmart Your Eating Disorder and Take Your Life Back. Beating Ana is the first book written to specifically address the power and efficacy of adding a recovery mentor to the support team.
When you join, we are thrilled to welcome you into such an amazing and inspiring community, and we work very hard to help you get oriented and get plugged in quickly to the resources you need to strengthen in your own recovery and support others who are striving to do the same.
