Hope & Inspiration

The Open Forum for Hope and Inspiration is a program unique to MEDA. Once a month a recovered person shares his or her story of recovery from an eating disorder to a group at the MEDA office. Hope and Inspiration is a free, drop-in group, open to anyone who is interested in the topic or in supporting a loved one or friend. All meetings are held at MEDA. The group meets the first Saturday of every month (unless otherwise noted) from 10:00-11:00AM.
