July 2005 Archives

I have had a few requests recently from people wanting to be notified when new articles are added to the site. I don't currently have automated notification set up, so in the meantime, you'll need to email me and I will add you to the notification list.

Eating disorders treatment experience is preferred. Ample collegial contact and individual/group supervision are provided to develop new clinical skills. Some evening or weekend hours required.

I've just heard about an eating disorders online support group, sponsored by Milestones, an eating disorders program based in North Miami Beach. The group is open to anyone looking for eating disorder information and supportand has over 1300 members. The forum can be accessed at www.groups.yahoo.com/group/milestonesinrecovery.

It seems like a pretty active list and well worth a look.
