  MentorCONNECT Community

 

Forming supportive relationships, both one-on-one and with the larger community, is a vital part of recovery. This is why MentorCONNECT is a TEAM EFFORT - a true labor of love - created BY those in recovery FOR those in recovery.

The sole purpose of this forum is to connect those in need of recovery support with those who have first received help themselves and now want to offer it to others. We have experienced first-hand how Relationships Replace Eating Disorders, and we sincerely hope that these community resources will assist you as you participate in the recovery process as a mentor or a mentee - or both.

Please stay tuned as we will be greatly expanding the offerings on this site in coming months. In the works are community boards, online meetings, study groups and an e-hotline!

Want to help? VOLUNTEER for one of the most rewarding experiences recovery can offer - become a mentor to someone who needs to know that recovery is possible. One of our mentors has this to say about her experience thus far: I have made a connection with a mentee and I think it is going good. I really enjoy helping and I think this is a wonderful program. Thank you so much for letting me be a part of it. Cayce
