Mission: We are an evidence-based, family style, eating disorder recovery program, open to anyone. Living Proof MN changes lives and empowers our participants to make peace with food and their bodies.

Vision: Is that people with eating disorders will accept themselves and live a wholehearted life. 

Differentiators:

• Truly 24/7 personalized care with the same mentors for the entire duration of their involvement. This allows participants to create and sustain trusting relationships modeled off of family living.
• Due to this nontraditional style, mentors have an unconstrained ability to tailor their approaches to each person’s goals and identified struggles.
• No two days are alike, which helps to sustain flexibility and mimics the real world.
  
• Mentors and participants constantly reevaluate the progress, limitations, and barriers. This ensures the evolution of the person, as we know each person is unique.
• Participants are involved in day to day activities such as grocery shopping, cooking, meal planning, group involvement, discussions, household projects, which allows for a smooth transition back to daily life.
• People are not treated by their diagnoses, their BMI, or their perceived level of medical compromise. Everyone is celebrated and treated as an individual.
  
• We thrive on in depth conversations, as we know that eating disorders are sustained in masked and restricted relationships.
  
• We support people by encouraging the removal of internal filters so that we can have safe, meaningful, and productive dialogue.
