First Things First For Eating Disorders is a free monthly interactive


motivational workshop for those affected by an Eating Disorder. This


popular group program was developed and is led by veteran


Psychotherapist and eating disorders specialist William Skerker, LCSW,


LRSW, and is Co-Administered by Ellen Schieren who provides personalized


phone help and support. Many attendees have reported that First Things


First has helped them increase their sense of self-worth, and that it


has bolstered their commitment to decisions and behaviors leading to


healthier and more fulfilling lives.




First Things First For Eating Disorders delivers a pro-treatment and


pro-recovery message. It asks key questions about what you truly want,


what your agendas might be, and helps participants identify and overcome


obstacles and conflicts that prevent them from reaching their goals.


Each First Things First topic reflects a theoretical position and its


practical application for Eating Disordered individuals seeking


permanent recovery.
