Each year the Esperanza dietary team, along with other staffers, pull their cooking talents and resources to bring to life the annual “Thanksgiving Practice Feast” for our patients. Food-centric holidays can be especially daunting for eating disorder patients and it’s our goal to help them prepare for the food and the relationship challenges they may encounter this time of year.

We are so grateful for our staff that take our “Recovery by Doing” philosophy to the next level so that our patients have the opportunity to practice their skills and be ready if they might need them over the holidays.
