Healing with Pride
It’s Pride Week at Project HEAL!
The week of June 21, we will be hosting a series of Instagram Live conversations that will shed light on the healing experience from a variety of LGBTQ+ perspectives. Check out our schedule below and be sure to follow us on Instagram to be alerted when we’re live!
Each Instagram Live will be a fundraiser for our LGBTQ+ Treatment Equity Project, a fund dedicated solely to supporting those in the LGBTQ+ community suffering from an eating disorder without access to care. Special thanks to our partners at Eating Recovery Center and Undone Beauty!
