First Things First For Eating Disorders is a free monthly interactive
motivational workshop for those affected by an Eating Disorder. This
popular group program was developed and is led by veteran
Psychotherapist and eating disorders specialist William Skerker, LCSW,
LRSW, and is Co-Administered by Ellen Schieren who provides personalized
phone help and support. Many attendees have reported that First Things
First has helped them increase their sense of self-worth, and that it
has bolstered their commitment to decisions and behaviors leading to
healthier and more fulfilling lives.


First Things First For Eating Disorders delivers a pro-treatment and
pro-recovery message. It asks key questions about what you truly want,
what your agendas might be, and helps participants identify and overcome
obstacles and conflicts that prevent them from reaching their goals.
Each First Things First topic reflects a theoretical position and its
practical application for Eating Disordered individuals seeking
permanent recovery.
