The campaign highlights the complex nature of eating disorders which are often compounded by additional complicating factors. To celebrate the daily victories over anxiety, depression, and trauma that can trigger eating disorders, Timberline Knolls created the ‘Every Bite A Battle’ project, a series of triumphant portraits depicting alumnae taking back control of their lives.
Heather Seiler, a Timberline Knolls alumna and one of the subjects featured in the campaign noted, “For many years I struggled with personal and emotional issues that revealed themselves in part through an unhealthy relationship with food. With hard work and the support of professionals and my loved ones, I have overcome this disorder. Victory for me is perseverance and personal forgiveness. This campaign shows the warrior mentality I developed and carry with me every day.”
“Timberline Knolls and the success it has with its patients over many years are shining examples of Acadia’s purpose to ‘Lead Care with Light.’ This project showcases strong women who can be role models for the one in 10 Americans who struggle with eating disorders,” said Mark Palmenter, Chief Marketing Officer of Acadia Healthcare. “I want to thank our heroes – Heather, Shannon and Thereasa – for their willingness and openness in sharing their journeys. Our hope is that their stories help to inspire and empower others as they take the first – and often hardest - step on the road to recovery and healing.”
