Once a month, A New Beginning offers an informal educational meeting in which loved ones of those suffering from an eating disorder have the opportunity to ask, and have answered, personal questions pertaining to their specific situation. General information, education and support is additionally provided to help those closest to the eating-disordered individual develop a genuine sense of empathy and understanding of the recovery process. Participants may choose to attend monthly, or on a one-time only basis. Due to limited space, participants are required to call in advance to reserve their space.
