When I started working with Focus Integrative Centers last year, I knew very little about eating disorders. I already had mental health experience under my belt as well as sales and marketing, so this new position that would require local outreach within the mental health field seemed like a fitting opportunity – but marketing for an eating disorder treatment program?
“I had no idea she was struggling with her body image and weight as much as she was…”
“He told me he wanted to start getting fit for the new sport season, so I just thought he was eating healthier….”
“She had never really been a picky eater and really enjoyed food until 8th grade and then something changed. It was like she was becoming a different kid when it came to food…”
These are all comments that I often hear from parents when their child comes in for their first eating disorder nutrition assessment.
