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.



First Things First For Eating Disorders is free of charge,
and free of obligation.  Your one-time email or phone registration allows
you to attend as many meetings as you would like without re-registering.
 Your personal information will remain private, and you will receive an
email reminder announcing the topic before each meeting. Each monthly meeting
is held on a Thursday evening at 7:30 PM in Manhattan at 19 West 34th Street,
