Join the HEALers Circle

A HEALer’s Circle member is a provider working with Project HEAL to break down dysfunctional systems of care for those impacted by eating disorders. They are simultaneously interested in increasing access to holistic, trauma-informed, and culturally competent care of those who historically have been unable to access it. To do so, they are interested in building community with other values-aligned providers to work collectively towards health equity.

Being part of the HEALer’s Circle community garners the following for providers:

• Access to a community of care and healing hub that can holistically support not only your Project HEAL beneficiaries but all of your clients

• Connection with other providers to brainstorm, problem-solve, and ideate solutions for beneficiaries and the eating disorder field at-large

• Listing as a trusted referral source in our online directory of HEALer’s Circle members

If you are an eating disorder treatment provider and you are committed to breaking down barriers to eating disorder recovery for people who our current system fails, please join us.

Project HEAL is building the nation’s largest network of eating disorder treatment specialists who are committed to equitable treatment access.

For questions, please reach out to Program director, carsen ryhs beckwith.

HOW IT WORKS

• Project HEAL reviews applications on a monthly basis to assess the financial need, options for care, and barriers faced due to navigating systemic barriers for each applicant. Using these insights and our Equity Considerations process, we allocate placements to those with the most need and work to partner individuals with an appropriate provider.

• If someone applies who is in your geographical service area, we will reach out to see if you have a spot available to treat them as part of your HEALers Circle agreement. We provide a warm handoff and recommend a consultation call to confirm clinical appropriateness and mutual fit.

• Your commitment is limited to a specific number of Project HEAL beneficiaries in time-limited treatment placements, and your participation is fully voluntary.

application Process

Outpatient providers looking to join the HEALer’s Circle should complete the application, which requests information about your practice, approach to eating disorder care, areas of expertise, experience with and relationship to communities served through Project HEAL, and more. Your application will be reviewed by the Project HEAL team; if you are deemed values-aligned with our model for care, you will be invited to a brief interview and onboarding call.

Treatment centers looking to join the HEALer’s Circle should reach out to Carsen Rhys Beckwith directly for a one-on-one call to discuss membership opportunities.
