We are THRILLED to welcome Shelby Stewardson as one of the newest members of Rock Recovery's Board of Directors! 💜

A formally trained chef, food systems advocate, and founder of Gather By, a DC-based culinary studio, Shelby brings a passion for bringing people together through food and meaningful experiences.

But what makes Shelby's perspective especially meaningful to Rock is that she's also a Rock alumna! With her lived experience, passion for recovery, and belief in the power of food and connection, Shelby brings a unique and deeply personal perspective to our mission of making eating disorder treatment accessible to all.

We're so excited to have Shelby helping shape Rock's future as we continue building a community where healing, connection, and recovery are possible for everyone.

Join us in giving Shelby a warm welcome to the Rock Board! 💜

☕ A little coffee and a little recovery reminder for your Friday.

So much of life is outside of our control. Other people's opinions, our past experiences, how our bodies naturally change, or even when difficult thoughts show up.

But here's the thing: Recovery isn't about controlling everything. It's about learning what we can let go of and where we can show ourselves compassion.

We can choose to nourish our bodies, communicate our needs, practice kinder self-talk, and take small steps toward healing, even when things feel difficult.

You can't control every thought, feeling, or circumstance, but you can continue choosing to care for yourself through it all. 🫶

💬 What's one thing you're choosing to focus on that's within your control today? Let us know in the comments!

Every teen deserves a safe space to be themselves, feel understood, and know they aren't alone. 💜

For teens navigating eating disorders, body image challenges, and self-esteem, finding that space can make all the difference.

As Ginger, a parent of a Teen Bridge to Life graduate, shared, group therapy helped her daughter find her voice, express her feelings, and feel comfortable being herself without judgment. 🫶

We want more teens to experience the power of healing in community! Our Virtual Teen Bridge to Life Therapy Group offers teens ages 14–18 in Maryland and Virginia a supportive, clinician-led space to connect, grow, and work toward recovery alongside peers who understand.

💻 Tuesdays | 4:30–5:45 PM | Virtual via Zoom

Your teen doesn't have to navigate these challenges alone. Visit the link in our bio to learn more and schedule a FREE 20-minute consultation! 💜

Things we're ghosting this October... and no, we're not talking about haunted houses! 🎃💜

This Friday, we're saying BOO 👻 to some of the thoughts, habits, and pressures that don't deserve a place in our lives (or our recovery journeys)!

This spooky season, we're making room for more self-compassion, food freedom, connection, and healing. ✨

As Hispanic Heritage Month comes to a close, we're shining a light on an important conversation: Why does representation matter in eating disorder treatment?

Eating disorders affect people of every race, ethnicity, and cultural background. Yet for many Hispanic and Latine individuals, cultural stigma, misconceptions about who experiences eating disorders, language barriers, and a lack of representation in healthcare can make getting support even more challenging.

Our very own Alexa Reyes Garcia, a Latina and bilingual therapist at Rock Recovery, explores this important topic in her new blog, “Why Representation Matters in Eating Disorder Treatment.” 💚

Alexa shares insights on recognizing eating disorder concerns, navigating cultural expectations, advocating for culturally responsive treatment, and finding healing while staying connected to the traditions, foods, and communities that make us who we are.

As we wrap up Hispanic Heritage Month, we're reminded that celebrating diverse voices and advocating for equitable mental healthcare must continue year-round.
