The goal is to help people Get in the KNOW.

February 23 through March 1, 2014 is National Eating Disorders Awareness Week.

Eating disorders are serious illnesses, not lifestyle choices.
Eating disorders are complex illnesses that arise from a combination of biological, psychological, interpersonal, and social factors. 1.7% of US adolescents or 1 out of 60 teenagers have a diagnosable eating disorder. In the US, 20 million women and 10 million men suffer from a clinically significant eating disorder at some time in their life.

Education, early intervention, and access to care are critical
Early diagnosis and intervention significantly enhance recovery.

Help is available, and recovery is possible.

While eating disorders are serious, potentially life-threatening illnesses, help is available and recovery is possible. For more information click here.

The fifth annual Touchdown for HOPE Super Bowl Sunday event took place on February 2, 2014 at the Great American Ballpark Champions Club.

Mason, OH –The fifth annual Touchdown for HOPE Super Bowl Sunday event took place on February 2, 2014 at the Great American Ballpark Champions Club. Touchdown for HOPE is a classy, upscale Super Bowl party with big screen televisions, plush seating, and signature Cincinnati food favorites, with the addition of some New York-style fare and cocktails in the theme of the game venue. All of this took place in a sports fan’s dream location –overlooking the baseball field, with proceeds going to enhance local research being done in Bipolar and Mood Disorders at Lindner Center of HOPE.
Originally conceived in 2010 by Scott Robertson, Carl Satterwhite, John Ryan, Francie Hiltz and Sue Lawrence this annual event, hosted by Anthony and Dede Munoz, raised $130,000 this year to ultimately improve the lives of those suffering with mental illness.

“Mood disorders are the most common form of psychiatric illness and are among the leading causes of disability worldwide,” said Dr. Paul E. Keck, Jr., President & CEO of Lindner Center of HOPE. “The study of these devastating illnesses is extremely complex. In spite of the unprecedented growth in the diagnosis of these illnesses, research continues to be under-funded; while much work is still needed to enhance our understanding of these illnesses, the risk factors and the most effective forms of treatment.”

This year’s event had a record attendance of over 400 attendees. Among the guests were former Bengals players Ickey Woods and Eric Thomas.

A generous list of sponsors made this event possible.
