Celebrating Mom: The Heart of Recovery
May 26 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm
In honor of Mother’s Day, join EDF and Equip for a panel discussion featuring three mothers-turned-advocates and their children in recovery.

At the heart of successful eating disorder recovery is a strong support system of loved ones who are there through it all—and that often includes Mom. In honor of Mother’s Day, join EDF and Equip for a panel discussion featuring three mothers-turned-advocates and their children in recovery. We’ll explore how familial relationships evolve through the recovery journey and share practical tips and tools for caregivers.

Moderator: JD Ouellette, Director of Lived Experience, Equip

JD Ouellette is the Director of Lived Experience for Equip; she previously developed and ran Equip’s Mentorship Department. When she helped her youngest daughter recover from anorexia a decade ago, it ignited a passion to offer hope and mentorship to other families in the way other families provided that for hers. In 2019 she left her career in education to work in the eating disorder space and is excited to be part of the work of enhancing FBT to work for even more people, and to provide access to evidence-based care that is not limited by geography.
