Ulster County Eating Disorders Coalition

The Eating Disorders Coalition was started in response to the lack of adequate services available to individuals who are coping with an eating disorder. The main objectives of the coalition are to create a network of ED knowledgable providers, create appropriate support groups and advocate rights. The coalition meets monthly at MHA's Tuytenbridge office in Lake Katrine and is open to everyone. If you are interested in attending coalition meetings please call (845) 339-9090 ext. 109
