OUTREACH
Chrysalis Center is proud to be an active part of the Wilmington, NC community, working to increase access to mental health education and reduce stigma around eating disorders and related concerns. Through our outreach efforts, we aim to spark meaningful conversations, promote early intervention, and connect individuals with effective support.
In addition to offering specialized workshops and informational events, we collaborate with local organizations, schools, and healthcare providers to ensure that accurate, compassionate resources are available to those who need them. Outreach is one way we extend our mission beyond the therapy room and into the community we care so deeply about.
PROFESSIONAL SPEAKING ENGAGEMENTS
The team at Chrysalis Center is passionate about promoting mental health education through community events, professional trainings, and conference presentations. Our clinicians and dietitians frequently speak on topics such as eating disorders, body image, nutrition, bariatric care, trauma, and substance use.
We tailor our presentations to meet the needs of medical professionals, educators, students, and community organizations, with a focus on delivering evidence-based, engaging content that increases awareness and encourages early intervention.
