For tonight’s teleconference we are thrilled to welcome Susie Roman, Program Director with the National Eating Disorders Association, often referred to as NEDA. Susie will share more information with us about an exciting new training program called the NEDA Navigators. NEDA Navigators are not mental health professionals themselves, but are dedicated volunteers who are trained to assist others who are navigating the complex system of seeking help for an eating disorder for the first time. Volunteers are trained by an eating disorders professional and NEDA staff to be a knowledgeable, informal source of support and guidance to those who are new to the illness. NEDA Navigators training is for anyone who is already far along in their own recovery, or in helping a loved one recover, who wants to share what they have learned with others. Tonight’s event will give an overview of what NEDA Navigators training is like and what Navigators do once they are trained. NEDA Navigators Training is provided by NEDA free of charge to interested individuals who qualify. The National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by eating disorders. MentorCONNECT is a proud member of the NEDA Network, an association of like-minded not-for-profit organizations all working together to provide a unified voice of strength, advocacy and support in the fight against eating disorders.
