7) How is mealtime arranged?

Because we want to normalize eating as much as possible for our clients, meals are family-style with staff and clients gathered around the table in an enjoyable setting. This also gives clients an ideal opportunity to work through their food issues – in the moment they arise – with trained, caring professionals.

The center serves meals and snacks as contracted in individual treatment plans. Meals are followed by "Food and Feelings," a group that assists clients with any emotions, distortions or other thoughts related to the mealtime experience.
