The EDRC was a resource for me as a teenager and I’m so happy to see it continue to thrive as a Bay Area non-profit. They organize and provide thoughtful and necessary resources to our community. They have a fantastic leadership team and are well-run.

-Former Client and Volunteer

The EDRC is a great resource for those suffering through eating disorders, both patients and their loved ones. As the parent of two children who suffered from anorexia, I know the value of such support to help one get through unthinkably difficult times. Eating disorders are all too often suffered in silence – the EDRC helps break this silence so people can get help. We volunteer for the EDRC as hosts of weekly on-line support groups for the family and loved ones of victims of eating disorders, as they provide a safe place to share experiences and get support from a group of peers.

-Grateful Parents

EDRC is an amazing place. We have known them for almost two decades and had the fortune to work with them and refer many clients to them. Their dedication, passion and commitment to eating disorders is outstanding. There are not many non profits around that still provide clinical support services EDRC does! This place is a rarity in the field and deserves the utmost support from the community.

My donation is in honor of the passionate work of founder Janice Bremis. Congrats to her and current and past board members and volunteers for 15 years of changing lives and making a difference regarding eating disorders in the personal, professional and political arenas.

I come to you at the lowest point of my life. My loved one was diagnosed with ED, and I was lost, scared, basically absolutely hopeless, didn’t know where to look for help, and how to start this battle… That’s when I found your place, and there are no words to express my gratitude at what you did for me – resources, support, guidance, and…hope! It’s a long process, with many ups and downs, and if there is anything in life I hate – it’s ED!!! But because of people like you, I do not feel alone. Thank you for helping many families, including mine.

Excellent leadership and a cause that needs increasing attention. Eating disorders are serious and people experiencing them should receive appropriate treatment. Stigma often keeps people away from receiving care for these disorders. Education and support are effective ways to combat stigma and encourage people to seek the care they need. This organization is small, strong, and makes a valuable contribution to our community.

EDRC has been an overwhelming source of support and camaraderie as I’ve learned to face my eating disorder. The staff is incredibly helpful and welcoming, and they provide a safe environment where I can explore my thoughts and behaviors without fear of judgment. Their support has helped me develop self-compassion and has furthered my recovery journey.

-Grateful Client

EDRC is a terrific resource for patients, families, and loved ones seeking resources and support. This organization does a fantastic job compiling information, resources, treatment options, and referral sources. Additionally, the EDRC’s focus on community engagement and advocacy is commendable. Janice and her team’s tireless efforts have not gone unnoticed. Thank you EDRC for providing an invaluable resource to our community!

-Professional with expertise in this field

This is an incredibly helpful service that has changed my life for the better. I have previously been through so many treatment options that didn’t work for more than a month, but the groups that EDRC provides and the services that they are willing to help with, along with the kindness of the people there, have truly been life changing for me.

-Grateful Client

This support system is healing in every sense of the word. It’s a safe place for others to be vulnerable and experience inspiration and change.

My daughter is doing very well in her recovery. Her vitals are stable… I can’t thank you enough for the support and information you provided me. Without you and the family & friends support group, my daughter and I would have been lost.
