You can make a real difference in helping more teens find freedom from eating disorders!
Rock Recovery is celebrating World Eating Disorders Action Day™️on June 2nd. This year, the theme is Break the Bias, Support Families. This day is meant to highlight the importance of early intervention, and showcase how critical it is for families, caregivers, and healthcare workers to intervene as early as possible for the best possible chance of one’s full recovery.
This World Eating Disorders Action Day, help us get teens the treatment they need—early. Your generosity will directly support Rock Recovery’s teen therapy programs and provide life-saving care when it matters most.
Here is what we know:
- From 2018 to 2022, eating disorder-related health visits for youth in the United States jumped more than 107% (Pastore, et. al., 2023).
- A staggering 40-60% of elementary-aged girls are concerned about their weight (Goff, 2016).
- An alarming 22% of children and adolescents worldwide exhibit disordered eating (López-Gil, et. al., 2023).
Summer is on the horizon, and the noise surrounding diet culture is louder than ever (especially for teens). Eating disorder treatment can feel overwhelming for families, and the average cost of treatment in the United States is almost $12,000 a year (Streatfeild, et. al., 2021). Rock Recovery is dedicated to getting families connected to care, without worrying about the burden of finances.
Will you help us raise $5,000 this World Eating Disorders Action Day so that 10 more teen clients can access Rock Recovery's therapy services this summer?
Together, we can break the bias, and help to ensure more teens and families can access treatment early, safely, and free from barriers associated with cost. Thank you for honoring this crucial day of advocacy and awareness by supporting Rock Recovery!
