Illinois

ANAD of Downers Grove
Good Samaritan Hospital's North Pavilion
Highland Avenue (quarter of a mile south of Yorktown Shopping Center)
Downers Grove, IL
Support group meets Saturday afternoons from 3:30 P.M. to 5:00 P.M.
Support group is always "open" which means that any interested parent, fiancé, Girl Scout Leader, sibling, etc. is free to attend. The focus of our group is recovery. We encourage family and friends to attend, not for their own support, but rather to obtain knowledge, help in prevention, and truly be a support for those of us with the eating disorder. We average about 18 people per group;
80% female; age range is 14-64. A great group! All forms of the disorder are represented: anorexia, bulimia, binge eating, over-eating, bulimarexia and diabetics with eating disorder (often hidden or disguised behind their insulin.) The group has been meeting since April 1991.
