Project Balanced

Project Balanced is designed to help anyone, whether they are in the beginning of their recovery or have been dealing with issues for years, with their relationship to food, body image, or self-worth. It also supports individuals who feel overwhelmed by societal standards of “health” and want to build healthier coping skills and protective factors. By promoting self‑appreciation, encouraging open conversations, and challenging misinformation, we aim to create a more supportive community that understands mental health without stigma. Moving forward, ANAD (National Association of Anorexia Nervosa and Associated Disorders) is partnered with our team and provides support through mental health resources like stickers, trifolds, and wellness posters. Project Balanced is also collaborating with Light Up Project, a nonprofit organization that addresses mental health challenges through peer support, education, and connection. Furthermore, Project Balanced is also receiving help and resources for pop-ups from organizations like BringChange2Mind, as well as obtaining donation from local restaurants and businesses (Mayday Coffee Shop and 316 Pizza).
