Stronger together. 💙

Some of the most meaningful parts of our work at Blue Ridge happen through the relationships we build beyond our walls.

We’re incredibly grateful for the professionals who have visited Blue Ridge, welcomed us into their programs, gathered around the table, shared resources, and taken the time to connect. Every relationship helps strengthen the network of support available to the communities we collectively serve.

Here’s to continuing to connect, collaborate, and make accessing the right care a little easier.

Want to get to know Blue Ridge? We’d love to welcome you for a tour, introduce you to our incredible team, and learn more about the work you do, too!

To schedule a visit, reach out to our Regional Outreach Coordinator, Courtney Van Buskirk: [email protected] or call/text 570-236-6390.

Together, we can continue to make a difference.

This Labor Day, we’re grateful for the people whose hard work, compassion, and dedication make a difference every day. 💙

We’re especially thankful for the professionals, caregivers, families, and individuals doing the often unseen work of eating disorder recovery.

Today is also a reminder that rest is not something we have to earn. May you find time to slow down, nourish yourself, and simply be.

Happy Labor Day from all of us at Blue Ridge Eating Disorder Care Center.

💙 September is Su***de Prevention Month.

Sometimes the people who are struggling the most are the ones working the hardest to appear okay.

This month is an important reminder to check in, listen without judgment, and make space for conversations that may be difficult to have.

To anyone who may be struggling: your story matters. Your life has value. You deserve support, compassion, and the opportunity to be heard.

And to the parents, caregivers, friends, providers, and loved ones supporting someone through a difficult season—never underestimate the power of simply showing up, asking the question, and staying connected.

At Blue Ridge, we believe mental health deserves to be talked about openly, compassionately, and without shame. No one should have to navigate their hardest moments alone.

If you or someone you know is in crisis or experiencing thoughts of su***de, call or text 988 to connect with the Su***de & Crisis Lifeline.

💙 Keep the conversation going. You never know who may need to hear that they matter today.

Back-to-school stress is common—but sometimes, the changes we notice are telling us something more.

Returning to school brings a lot of transitions: new routines, different meal schedules, social pressures, athletics, academic expectations, and more time spent eating around peers. For a young person struggling with an eating disorder, these changes can sometimes make concerning patterns easier to recognize.

Maybe breakfast suddenly becomes a battle. School lunch starts coming home untouched. Food rules become more rigid. Or you notice your teen pulling away from friends, activities, or situations involving food.

One change alone doesn’t necessarily mean an eating disorder is present. But when behaviors begin to persist, intensify, or interfere with everyday life, they’re worth paying attention to.

Early recognition matters—and you don’t have to wait until things become severe to ask for help.

At Blue Ridge Eating Disorder Care Center, we’re here to support families navigating those questions and help determine what level of care may be appropriate.

💙 When something feels different, it’s okay to trust that instinct and start the conversation.

🍎📚 Back-to-School Staff Spotlight: Meet Isabel!

Back-to-school season here, and it’s the perfect time to highlight someone who helps make sure school doesn’t have to stop when treatment begins.

With a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master of Education, Isabel is a musician and artist at heart who loves everything from playing the trombone to reading, crocheting, gardening, hiking, and finding new waterfalls.

At Blue Ridge, Isabel works with students across grade levels and subjects while staying connected with their home schools to support their educational needs and eventual transition back. Whether it’s a science project or even navigating college applications and FAFSA, she meets each student where they are.

Most importantly, she strives to create a classroom where students feel safe, welcome, seen, and valued. As Isabel shared:

“I hope every student who comes through Blue Ridge knows that they are seen, valued for who they are, and capable of far more than they think.”

At Blue Ridge, education continues year-round, allowing adolescents to receive the eating disorder treatment they need while staying connected to their education and future.

We’re so grateful for Isabel and everything she brings to our students and their recovery journeys. 🍎💙

Eating disorders don’t all look the same—and neither should their treatment.💙

There is no single picture of what an eating disorder looks like.

At Blue Ridge, we provide specialized residential treatment for adolescents experiencing a range of eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, atypical anorexia nervosa, ARFID, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, OSFED, and orthorexia.

Each diagnosis can present differently. And even two young people with the same diagnosis can have completely different needs, challenges, fears, family dynamics, and paths toward recovery.

That’s why individualized care matters.

Our multidisciplinary team looks beyond the diagnosis to understand the whole young person—their nutritional and medical needs, emotional and psychiatric needs, family system, and the unique factors influencing their eating disorder.

Different diagnoses. Different stories. One shared belief: every young person deserves care that sees the whole person.

Have questions about whether Blue Ridge may be an appropriate fit for a loved one you’re supporting? We’re here to help.

For someone struggling with an eating disorder, even the most ordinary moments can feel complicated.

A birthday celebration. Lunch at school. Dinner with friends. Getting dressed in the morning. A family vacation.

These moments may seem simple from the outside, but an eating disorder can bring anxiety, fear, rigid thoughts, and behaviors into experiences that were once just part of everyday life.

That’s why recovery is about so much more than food.

It’s about helping young people reclaim their lives—the celebrations, friendships, family time, school days, spontaneity, and ordinary moments that make adolescence what it is.

At Blue Ridge, we provide specialized eating disorder treatment designed to support the whole young person while partnering with families throughout the recovery process.

Because sometimes recovery looks like being able to enjoy a simple Tuesday again. 💙

If your loved one is struggling with an eating disorder or you’re wondering whether a higher level of support may be needed, our team is here to help.

Missed one of our recent webinars? We’ve got you covered. 🎥💙

Education is an important part of understanding eating disorders, navigating treatment options, and supporting young people and their families throughout recovery.

Our webinar library gives parents, caregivers, clinicians, educators, and community partners the opportunity to catch up on conversations with the Blue Ridge team—including our clinician-led look at eating disorder treatment, where we highlight our Family-Based Treatment–Enhanced (FBT-E) model and how it shapes our approach to adolescent care.

You can also explore guidance around levels of care, when residential treatment may be appropriate, and what families and providers can consider when seeking additional support.

Missed the live conversation? The learning doesn’t have to stop there.

August is National Wellness Month—an opportunity to rethink what wellness truly means, especially in eating disorder recovery. 💙

Wellness isn’t defined by a number, an appearance, or doing everything “right.”

For a young person in recovery, wellness can look like nourishing their body consistently, getting adequate rest, navigating difficult emotions, accepting support, strengthening relationships, and rediscovering the parts of life that bring meaning and connection.

Eating disorder recovery is about more than addressing symptoms. It’s about supporting the whole person and helping young people build a healthier relationship with food, their bodies, themselves, and the world around them.

At Blue Ridge, we believe there is so much more to a young person’s story than an eating disorder.

Because recovery isn’t just about healing from an eating disorder—it’s about creating space for your teen to live fully again. 💙
