About HOPE Network

Who are We?

HOPE Network is a collaboration of educators and coaches dedicated to helping families cope with the impact of eating disorders. We believe that it is impossible to stand by and do nothing when one in every three people affected with an eating disorder will die as a direct result.

Anchored in our belief that anyone can find joy (or at least sanity) in any circumstance, we've developed a series of workshops to educate and assist families coping with eating disorders.

About Eating Disorders

According to the Anna Westin Foundation:

7 million women and 1 million men suffer from eating disorders	10-22% of persons diagnosed with an eating disorder die as a result
2-5% of persons diagnosed with eating disorders commit suicide	86% of people suffering from eating disorders report onset by age 20
77% of people diagnosed with eating disorders report duration of 1-15 years	Most experts in the field believe that managed care fails to provide adequate funding for eating disorders
