Care Advocate (Part-Time)
Its estimated that nearly 1 in 10 people will experience an eating disorder in their lifetime, affecting people of every identity and background yet up to 90% will not get the care they deserve.

With its person-centered approach to care, Arise aims to... shatter the stereotype of what eating disorders look like and break down barriers and stigma to bring people care that works for them. Through virtual care pathways, community, and ongoing support, Arise brings people the right care, where and when they need it. Arise is built by and for people who have been there, too together, were empowering effective support for long-term healing.
Our values
Listen to lead. Were not going to have all the answers. To effectively serve every persons healing journey, we must start by humbly listening to and elevating all voices and experiences.
All bodies have value. Were here for people of any age, race, size, gender identity, sexual orientation, ability, and background, because everyone deserves to be understood, respected, and supported.
Were all human. Being human means that we celebrate our successes together and support each other through the low points. We give each other the space to rise and fall and rise again.
