Gail Hall, LMSW, DCSW, CEDS - S
I received my BA from Dordt College in 1975 and my MSW from Western Michigan University in 1984. My early years as a social worker were spent in child welfare; just after graduate school I treated my first individual with an eating disorder and soon began pursuing this as a specialty. I have worked in a large outpatient psychiatric practice as part of an interdisciplinary team: and was employed for four years as the Director of the Eating Disorders Program at nearby Forest View Hospital. In 1998 I founded CTED, LLC in hopes of providing high quality, comprehensive team care in an intimate, personalized setting. It’s a blessing to support girls, boys, women, and men as they heal from their eating disorder and begin to grasp all God has in store for them in the future.
As exciting as that journey can be, however, it’s often long and difficult. How much better if we could prevent an eating disorder before it ever got started . . .
I attended my first eating disorders prevention conference in 1986 in Seattle Washington at the national headquarters of EDAP. This organization and several others merged in the 90’s to become the National Eating Disorders Association, now headquartered in New York City. We have been proud to partner with them for several events.; but have also recognized the need for a local organization. MiEDA was founded so that funds raised locally could be used for prevention efforts right here in Western Michigan. I’ve been blessed by my association with Jennifer Lane, and thrilled with the gifts brought by each of our board members and volunteers. Together we have exciting plans for the future!
