MentorCONNECT Presents Learning to Love Your Body and Yourself with Chenese Lewis | Chenese Lewis has grown up in the "thin is in" culture that surrounds us all - and yet somehow seems to be immune to its messages of low self-esteem, poor body image, and holding back from life due to how you look. She is bold, beautiful, and curvy - and attributes her success in the notoriously image-conscious fields of modeling and acting to her ability to love her body - and herself - no matter what anyone else says. Tune in and learn how Chenese has learned to love her body and herself - and how you can follow in her footsteps to embrace your body and your life just as you are!

MentorCONNECT Presents Learning to Live Loved with Kay Keller Cason | Kay Keller Cason lived through the nightmare of an unfolding eating disorder as her 10-year old daughter suddenly stopped eating. From this experience Kay went on to become a co-founder for one of the first eating disorders inpatient treatment facilites in the country today, Remuda Ranch. In this moving and compassionate teleconference, Kay shares what she has learned about how to support a recovering loved child or loved one and at the same time seek out your own sources of support as a parent, family member, friend or spouse.

MentorCONNECT Presents Life Saving Eating Disorder Research with Dr. Walter Kaye | Dr. Walter Kaye is one of the country's leading researchers into the neurobiology of eating disorders. He has made many contributions to the field with his primary focus on studying the relationship between the brain and behavior and determining how we can better understand the symptoms of eating disorders. Dr. Kaye has focused his extensive career on developing innovative research practices to bring help, hope, and healing to recovering persons and their loved ones. In this teleconference, Dr. Kaye will review fascinating findings from his research on anorexia, bulimia, and other eating disorders. He will highlight information that will facilitate changing our approach to how recovering people view their disease and the positive traits that are too often viewed only in a negative light. If you are a recovering person and have ever caught yourself wondering, "Why am I the way that I am?" or if you are a loved one of someone who is recovering and you have ever struggled to understand why they can't "just eat more" and other such mysteries of the recovery process, then this teleconference is tailor-made for you!

MentorCONNECT Presents Lisa Kantor JD on Navigating Insurance for ED Treatment | People seeking treatment for eating disorders seldom have the resources to pay for appropriate therapy. They often need extended residential treatment followed by proper step-down treatment. Few health plans understand eating disorders to appreciate the standard of care and are reluctant to pay for the proper time in residential treatment. This tension creates an undesirable atmosphere at a time when cooperation between patients, treatment professionals, and insurers is essential for a patient's full recovery. In this teleconference, Lisa Kantor, JD, the leading eating disorders litigation specialist in the country outlines how patients and treatment providers can learn to better navigate insurance to obtain eating disorders treatment. Lisa Kantor is a principal with the law firm of Kantor 8 Kantor LLP in Los Angeles, CA. She is a tireless advocate on behalf of eating disorder sufferers who have been unfairly denied insurance coverage and reimbursement for necessary expenses related to medical care for recovery from an eating disorder. Lisa received her Juris Doctor from University of Virginia School of Law and was awarded a Dillard Fellow. In her own words, this busy and prolific professional says, "I always have time for eating disorder matters." www.kantorlaw.net | 7/13/11 | Free | View In iTunes |

MentorCONNECT Presents Thom Rutledge on Facing Ed With an Addiction Model | In this teleconference, Thom will once again be joined by Jeanette Henriques (on the Mentor Connect Board of Directors) and Cheryl Kerrigan (author of "Telling ED NO!"), this time to discuss how an addiction recovery model can make all the difference in your work to separate from Ed once and for all. “My methods have always been based on my professional and personal experience with addiction recovery,” Thom says. “My clients who understand the similarities and how to use addiction recovery strategies tend to develop much stronger foundations for building the lives they want beyond their eating disorders.” Thom Rutledge is the author of several books, including "Embracing Fear: How to Turn What Scares Us into Our Greatest Gift". His INTRApersonal Therapy methods are used extensively by out-patient and residential eating disorder treatment programs in the U.S. and Australia.

MentorCONNECT Presents A Roadmap to Full ED Recovery with Dr. Michael E. Berrett and Jenni Schaefer | Tonight’s teleconference topic is “10 Principles of Intuitive Living: A Roadmap to Full Recovery from an Eating Disorder”. This teleconference is designed for those suffering from eating disorders, their friends and families, and for anyone with a desire to have more joy and peace in their lives. Several years ago, Intuitive Eating was offered as a philosophy for a healthy relationship with food that comes from listening to our bodies and following those cues rather than seeking external ones to know how and when to eat. "Intuitive Living" is a broader concept that suggests we can best make decisions, have meaningful relationships, and be at peace with ourselves when we listen to internal messages, which come from the heart. When we truly follow the heart—rather than simply allowing our thoughts or emotions to rule—we find ourselves spiritually alive, giving and receiving the abundance life has to offer, and enjoying serenity (even in difficult circumstances). As you will learn shortly, Principles of Intuitive Living are critical for being in recovery and for becoming fully recovered. Our wonderful co-presenters are Dr. Michael E. Berrett, licensed psychologist and CEO, Executive Director and Co-Founder of Center for Change, and Jenni Schaefer, author, speaker, and consultant with Center for Change.

MentorCONNECT Presents Emme for NEDAwareness Week 2011 | MentorCONNECT is honored to offer this special teleconference with NEDA Celebrity Ambassador Emme, who shares her thoughts with us about why it is so important to participate in eating disorders awareness events like the MentorCONNECT NEDAwareness Virtual Walk as a tool to give and receive support to all who need it. As a two-time “50 Most Beautiful People’ winner, Glamour Magazine’s “Woman of the Year” and Biography Magazine’s “25 Most Influential People”, Emme’s impact in the fashion and media world is unquestioned. But much more deeply personal is her own journey towards positive body image in the “thin is in” culture that continues to pervade society today. As a mom, an activist, a speaker, a cancer survivor, and a television producer, Emme uses her star status to promote self and size acceptance and do good wherever she finds the opportunity. MentorCONNECT is grateful that one of the many causes that Emme is passionate about is her service work as an Ambassador for the National Eating Disorders Association. As she frequents the Oprah Winfrey Show, Entertainment Tonight, CNN, CBS, NPR, Rachael Ray, and others, she brings awareness and education about eating disorders and body image issues with her wherever she goes. Because of advocates and activists like Emme, hardworking non-profit organizations like the National Eating Disorders Association and MentorCONNECT have a chance to make our voices heard as well.

MentorCONNECT Presents: National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) Navigator Training Information | For tonight’s teleconference we are thrilled to welcome Susie Roman, Program Director with the National Eating Disorders Association, often referred to as NEDA. Susie will share more information with us about an exciting new training program called the NEDA Navigators.

Volunteers are trained by an eating disorders professional and NEDA staff to be a knowledgeable, informal source of support and guidance to those who are new to the illness. NEDA Navigators training is for anyone who is already far along in their own recovery, or in helping a loved one recover, who wants to share what they have learned with others. Tonight’s event will give an overview of what NEDA Navigators training is like and what Navigators do once they are trained. NEDA Navigators Training is provided by NEDA free of charge to interested individuals who qualify. The National Eating Disorders Association (NEDA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting individuals and families affected by eating disorders.

Andrea Roe Presents: If They Can Recover, I Can Too | In this teleconference, Andrea Roe, eating disorders survivor, author, advocate, mentor, Support Letter editor, and MentorCONNECT Leadership Team member, shares how she went from living all alone with Ed (for "eating disorder") to being recovered and surrounded by an amazing support team of professionals, mentors, friends, and family.

Andrea Roe is a native Austrian and lives together with her husband, Brandon, in beautiful British Columbia, Canada. She struggled with depression and body image issues for ten years, and with eating disorders, both anorexia and bulimia, for six years.

Thom Rutledge Presents: Ready or Not, Here it Comes…Your Shot at Happiness (Without Ed!) | In this teleconference, Thom Rutledge, with the able assistance of Jeanette Henriques and Cheryl Kerrigan, discusses one of the biggest challenges of eating disorder recovery: what to do with yourself – and your life – when all of your efforts to recover pay off. With solid, authentic recovery comes the question, “Who will I be when I am no longer defined by my eating disorder?“ Separating from Ed is only the beginning. If you don’t know how to respond to this question, Ed may well maintain a foothold in your life, keeping you just on the outside of full recovery. If the idea of living your life without keeping Ed waiting in the wings, ready to return if you need him, scares you, then most definitely join us for this teleconference. Thom Rutledge is the author of several books, including Embracing Fear: How to Turn What Scares Us into Our Greatest Gift. His INTRApersonal Therapy methods are used extensively by out-patient and residential eating disorder treatment programs in the U.S. and Australia.
