STAR

Support Team for Advocacy and Recovery

STAR is working in collaboration with EDFSTX to offer a personalized branch of outreach and support to the community. This team of advocates meet to discuss and prepare various avenues and opportunities for sharing the story of hope and recovery from eating disorders.

Each person who has recovered from and eating disorder has a distinct personal story. We are grateful to have a team of collaborative, compassionate and passionate people who are willing to provide support to other individuals and families with eating disorders. Their stories provide inspiration, and we applaud and appreciate the courage it takes to share openly and be part of the support offered to others who are just beginning their recovery,
