A Journey Through Eating Disorders Support & Recovery

Art therapy is an integrative mental health field that is often used in the treatment of eating disorders.

In The Victory Program at McCallum Place, we want to create a sports culture where Not One More athlete has to endure an eating disorder because of the environment sports can create. On a personal note, I once had a mentor say to me, "when you imagine the world you want to create, be clear about what you want, rather than what…

As children, our minds are like sponges, soaking up all we see and hear around us. No one enters this world hating their body. We don’t start life with food rules and restrictions. We simply arrive as we are. And with our collective efforts, it is possible that not one more child will learn that they need to look a…

#NotOneMore Company Without Access to Comprehensive Mental Health Support Just two years ago, the professional landscape looked drastically different.
