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.

2012 Forums will take place on:

January 7th, February 4th, March 3rd, April 14th*, May 5th, June 2nd, July 7th, August 4th, September 8th*, October 13th*, November 3rd, December 1st

*H&I delayed one week because of Federal Holiday

If you would like to write your story and share it at Hope and Inspiration please read MEDA's Hope and Inspiration Guidelines.

We encourage you to read past Hope and Inspiration speakers' stories.
