Who We Are
Triad Friends & Family is a support group for family members,
parents, spouses, siblings, friends, counselors or any concerned
person who is living with or trying to help someone recover from
an eating disorder. It seeks to understand and assist the person
with the eating disorder by supporting those people who want to
help them.
Triad Friends & Family began meeting in June, 2004. The group was founded by Shirley Bailey, who after the loss of her daughter, Kelli Bailey Bartley, to an eating disorder, realized the need for such a group in Winston-Salem and the surrounding areas.
Friends and family play a crucial role in the recovery process of a person with an eating disorder.

What We Do
Our support group offers an atmosphere of confidentiality and trust.
We encourage each group member to participate in personal sharing. What
you are able to share may benefit others, and you may gain a better
understanding of your own situation through the stories of others in
the group.
We believe that recovery from an eating disorder is best accomplished through a combination of individual therapy, group support and examination of the family system. We do not advocate any specific clinics or programs because we believe that each family's situation is unique and there is no one path to recovery from an eating disorder. Group members are encouraged to share their personal experiences and discoveries for the benefit of others.
