All proceeds will go towards supporting NEDA’s critical programs and services that work to eliminate eating disorders and improve prevention, treatment, and research.“It’s an honor to support our friends and colleagues at NEDA,” said Columbus Park’s founder and Clinical Director, Melissa Gerson, LCSW. “As therapists who work with some of the over 30 million Americans who struggle with eating disorders we are intimately aware that eating disorder research continues to be under-funded and insurance coverage for treatment is inadequate. These are just a few of the reasons why we are not only participating in the NEDA Walk to raise funds but also sponsor this important event to promote awareness and support for those with eating disorders.”Learn more about finding the right treatment for your eating disorder by visiting the NEDA website here.
