The EDCT in Memphis is expanding its resources to provide more education and support for those seeking information relating to eating disorders.  We currently have three support groups focused for those struggling with eating disorders and two support groups for family and friends. In addition to offering support groups, we are in the process of establishing the YES! program firmly in the Memphis area.

The RENEW program, created by Beth Lyons, is a comprehensive program for compulsive overeaters and those impacted by Binge Eating Disorders (men and women). We also offer adult and teen programs, which focus on eating issues, body image and self-care issues, as well as conflict resolution, creation of support networks and relapse prevention. Call Dr. Lyons for more information at (901) 624-3939.
