Linden Oaks hosts annual Candlelight Vigil for eating disorders
The Candlelight Vigil is held, in part, to commemorate those who have lost their lives and recognize those who have recovered and survived.
On May 20, with the theme, “Embracing Transformation and Becoming the Change,” Linden Oaks Behavioral Health in Naperville hosted its 16th annual Candlelight Vigil for those affected by eating disorders.
The event is held each year to motivate and encourage recovery, provide support for families, commemorate those who have lost their lives and recognize those who have recovered and survived.
The Vigil featured comments by recovering/recovered eating disorders patients and family members whose loved ones passed away due to eating disorders; musical performances, presentations by former Linden Oaks eating disorders program patients and a candle lighting ceremony.
