A new website was launched in January 2010 that dramatically increased our ability to offer information and resources.

Professional Education Professionals from many disciplines play vital roles in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of eating disorders. The Elisa Project offered workshops that provided professionals with opportunities to enhance their knowledge and improve quality of care. Through its extensive network of contacts within the eating disorder community, The Elisa Project was able to bring noted experts, such as Carolyn Costin, MA MEd MFT, Founder and Executive Director of the Monte Nido Treatment Center and its affiliates, and Craig Johnson, PhD, Chief Clinical Officer of the Eating Recovery Center, for professional workshops that reached 267 people in 2010.
