Hynes Recovery Services offers college students the opportunity to be fully supported in their recovery from an eating disorder. We are equipped to handle these students in both the early stages of an eating disorder, as well as those that may have been living with the devastating effects of this illness for some time. Students and their families will receive not only information and education regarding all aspects of a loved one's eating disorder, they will also have the opportunity to be connected to the top eating disorder experts in their geographical area. And for those students who are also collegiate athletes, HRS has created a resource directory that offers treatment options geared for this unique clinical population.

Oftentimes, students may be seeing treatment providers on a regular basis, but still need additional support. We offer these additional supports crucial to one's continued recovery, such as care coordination and transitional support post-discharge from a higher level of care.

Finding effective treatment can be quite difficult and at times feel overwhelming. For the past 25 years, Dawn Hynes has guided families in this challenging process – sometimes the involvement is short-term, while other cases may require more intense support. It is imperative that families find the best treatment option quickly, as research clearly indicates that early and aggressive treatment results in improved outcomes for those struggling with an eating disorder. If you feel that either you or a loved one can benefit from this type of support, please contact me directly so that we may set up a free consultation to explore options for treatment.

For students returning to campus from a higher level of care, the hope is that recovery will continue, with minimal chance of relapse. However, many students often struggle during this transition period. Implementing additional supports at this time can help to minimize the stress and anxiety associated with discharge, thus increasing the likelihood that gains made throughout treatment are maintained. With this in mind, HRS has established a Scholarship Program, offering college students (in MA) the opportunity to receive clinical case management services (pro bono) during their first two weeks post treatment. Please contact us to learn more about this initiative.
