We will keep you notified of the progress of the fund and eventually, the availability of funds.<br /><br />Project Heal was established by three teenage women who recognized the needs of eating disordered patients who struggle to access care. We are proud of their hard work and are grateful for the opportunity to be of service to our community!<br /><br />News to follow!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1041867697342005089-5000918493557078849?l=blog.tapestrync.com' alt='' /></div>Tapestry NChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08132881772069301775noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041867697342005089.post-50332133675808921672010-04-14T12:26:00.000-07:002010-04-14T12:26:12.093-07:00We're now on Twitter, and our micro-blogging focus will be to raise awareness about women's eating disorders and inform the general public about our treatment approach and news from within the program.<br /><a href="http://twitter.com/tapestrync">Check us out!&nbsp;</a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1041867697342005089-5033213367580892167?l=blog.tapestrync.com' alt='' /></div>Tapestry NChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08132881772069301775noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041867697342005089.post-13829352812970629872010-03-17T13:09:00.001-07:002010-03-17T13:09:33.582-07:00Like life, our program is always growing and changing.

We now have public and private forums where users can interact and ask general questions related to the site. Alumni now have their own password-protected forums.<div><br /></div><div>We also now have a live chat feature during regular business hours, where you can ask questions directly of our staff. </div><div><br /></div><div>And, that's just the site. Our program grows weekly with the inclusion of new treatments, new staff, and reaching out toward many new resources. We've made some major strides in negotiating the insurance system, helping many to gain access to our services when they didn't think it was possible!</div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks as always for your interest!</div><div><br /></div><div>-The Tapestry Team</div><div><br /></div><div>Follow us on Facebook: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/tapestrync">http://www.facebook.com/tapestrync</a></div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1041867697342005089-8166039946072535727?l=blog.tapestrync.com' alt='' /></div>Tapestry NChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08132881772069301775noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041867697342005089.post-33963626734911324372009-10-29T03:17:00.000-07:002009-10-29T03:18:35.373-07:00We are pleased to announce Aetna and Beechstreet as participating health insurance companies!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1041867697342005089-3396362673491132437?l=blog.tapestrync.com' alt='' /></div>Tapestry NChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08132881772069301775noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041867697342005089.post-10529282243343400612009-09-03T09:34:00.000-07:002009-09-03T09:37:12.142-07:00I've put up a simple 20 question quiz to help begin the process of asking the difficult question "Do I have an Eating Disorder?" We've found that tools like this can often be a first big step, and creates an epiphany of sorts that leads to eating disorder treatment. <a href="http://tapestrync.com/quiz.html">Try the quiz</a>, and give us your feedback!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1041867697342005089-1052928224334340061?l=blog.tapestrync.com' alt='' /></div>Tapestry NChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08132881772069301775noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041867697342005089.post-37600388649115600902009-08-27T21:12:00.000-07:002009-08-27T21:16:53.945-07:00We've been busy here working on the site and increasing our presence among the many distinguished eating disorder treatment sites. Today, we've added a photo gallery of the area (very much a work in progress) and enhanced our "networkability." Why the push? Simply because we feel it is so important that women know that help is out there, and people will listen. There's no better reason...<br /><br />We're all in this together!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1041867697342005089-3760038864911560090?l=blog.tapestrync.com' alt='' /></div>Tapestry NChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08132881772069301775noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041867697342005089.post-51022052462276854582009-08-20T18:24:00.000-07:002009-08-20T18:48:17.769-07:00We feel that no matter what we say, it's what our residents have to say about our program that matters the most. This came to us recently, and her comments really touched our hearts...<div><br /></div><div><div><i>"Tapestry Residential Eating Disorder Program is a spacious and beautiful facility. The program works as a safe, structured approach to eating disorders. Staff members offer wider ranging areas of expertise: these range from day to day elements, such as meals plans and individual therapy sessions, to philosophical and spiritual aspects such as yoga and nature walk. The weekly schedule alternates between structured events such as group therapy and with reflection about what self care skills you are practicing, and groups about new skills to learn; balanced with weekly outings to use these skills in 'the outside world'. Speaking for myself, Tapestry not only helped me manage my eating disorder, it helped me grow as a person and begin to manage my life.</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i> </i></div><div><i>Tapestry's hands-on approach to Eating Disorders stresses coping techniques. Classes teach about the themes and stereotypes around eeating Disorder; stress reduction; and specific behavioral skills designed get you 'inthe moment' to help make effective choices that ultimately build up resistance to the disorder. Probably my favorite hands-on approach was equine therapy which helps clients de-stress but also teaches how to intuitively sense the horses. This becomes a step towards sensing oneself and others.</i></div><div><i><br /></i></div><div><i> </i></div><div><i>At Tapestry, I benefited enormously from interaction with other clients. Learning that others shared similar feelings and discussing the different paths of eating disorders to became essential to my recovery. There are many opportunities for clients to to describe their experiences, whether in therapy sessions, groups and post meal discussions. Clients also learn to watch out for one another so that the program both builds a sense of self and restores a sense of how to relate to others. Tapestry combines broad staff expertise with an intimate atmosphere for clients, making it for me, an outstanding eating disorder treatment program." </i></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1041867697342005089-5102205246227685458?l=blog.tapestrync.com' alt='' /></div>Tapestry NChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08132881772069301775noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041867697342005089.post-18429669252968095802009-08-20T18:10:00.001-07:002009-08-20T18:11:08.968-07:00We're ironing out the kinks, so please stand by!
