World Eating Disorders Action Day 2024

Thank you so much to our incredible community for helping us surpass our goal to raise $14,345 (and secure the $10,000 match)! We are so grateful to all who took action and gave to help serve more clients on our waitlist.

On March 19, 2024, we celebrated our 15th anniversary and our important role in being a pillar of support for eating disorder and mental health treatment in the Greater DC region. The celebration continues as we come together with our passionate community to honor World Eating Disorders Action Day on June 2, 2024. This year, the theme is Hope, Recovery, and Science for Eating Disorders. World ED Action Day hopes to help advance understanding of eating disorders as treatable and biologically influenced mental illnesses.

Since we know science is all about the data, here are some important stats about Rock: 

  • In March 2024, we received a record-high number of client inquiries, up 44% from 2023 and 420% from 2019. Currently, we are serving 70 clients weekly with 15+ on our waitlist.

  • Some prospective clients and families are waiting as long as four months for treatment with us.

  • In 2023, 94% of graduated clients reported that their quality of life drastically improved as a result of our therapy programming.

This World Eating Disorders Action Day, we need you to help us increase our client capacity to serve more individuals throughout the region.

Join the campaign and help us raise $10,000 by Monday, June 3rd, and support our low-cost therapy programs, helping ensure that every person who comes to us can access life-saving care. For every dollar raised, your money is doubled, as we have a very generous donor who is matching all gifts made up to $10,000!

Thank you for your support and for celebrating this crucial day of advocacy by supporting Rock Recovery all weekend long!
