Alumni Program Components

Support Groups

Discharge Interviews

During each interview, the Alumni Relations Coordinator introduces the program, answers any questions, and collects membership information.

Throughout each client’s stay, the discharge group allows clients to check in, share their experiences, find support, and get educated on the program.

Post-Discharge Outreach

We know that consistent contact cultivates relationships. After leaving Selah House, each alumni receives an initial check-in, as well as ongoing scheduled check-ins. During these check-ins, recovery challenges and the needed resources are identified and addressed so our alumni and their families feel supported.

The Group Me App and Private Facebook Page

The app and private page allow alumni and their families to instantly connect with other program members. Members can post, build friendships, access support groups, track events and milestones, and more. The Alumni Relations Coordinator administers groups and provides support as
well as holds all members accountable to each group’s rules.

Volunteer Committee

Our alumni community is run, governed, and supported by our volunteer committee, which works in conjunction with our Alumni Relations Coordinator. The only requirements for committee membership include attending the once-a-month meetings and participating in most alumni community events.

Events

We believe in connection through group activities! Recovery is about being a part of life and experiencing new events. The volunteer committee votes on various quarterly events, including reunions, beach trips, bowling, and more.

What Our Alumni and Families Are Saying

“Selah House saved and changed my life. I’ve never been met with more compassion, love, and a desire from staff to help me get well. I would 100% recommend it to anyone looking into treatment.”
– Grateful Selah House Alumnus

“I know how difficult it is to make the decision to admit your daughter to a residential treatment program for anorexia. Selah House was a great choice for us. My daughter received the nursing care, therapy, and nutrition care that she desperately needed. I felt like my daughter was well cared for during this difficult time. I was very grateful for the opportunity I had to talk to my daughter on the phone each evening as it gave me a lot of peace of mind. I appreciated the opportunity I had to talk to the family therapist each week and the access I had to the therapist in between our appointments.”
– Grateful Parent of a Selah House Alumnus

“Thank you, all of you, for your support and encouragement while I was in treatment and even now as I enter back into my life. I couldn’t have grown, matured, or overcome my struggles without the help and concern from each and every one of you, as well as your thoughts! I hope the best for Selah in the future because it’s a great place where those who struggle really can find freedom! I would recommend Selah to anybody who is struggling with an eating disorder. Getting treatment was definitely worth it and was one of the best choices that I’ve ever made.”
– Grateful Selah House Alumnus

“I’m writing to say thank you to the Selah House team. Today was much more emotional than I anticipated. You all have done such a great job caring for and restoring my daughter back to health, physically and mentally the past two months. I can’t say thank you enough. She really has changed from the girl we dropped off. This life is a journey, but I know she will always remember her experience there. Thank you again and may God continue to bless, strengthen, and encourage you all in the work that you do.”
– Grateful Parent of a Selah House Alumnus

“Selah was an amazing place to start my healing journey. The staff was loving and supportive. They knew how to challenge my eating disorder but showed me love and empathy at the same time, gently guiding me along. They were very knowledgeable about trauma and how to handle trauma triggers which I greatly appreciated since not all facilities are able to provide that. I would highly recommend Selah House to anyone struggling with an eating disorder.”
– Grateful Selah House Alumnus

“We were at a point of desperation when we brought our daughter to Selah House, even beginning to lose hope for her recovery. Our experience with Selah was incredible. They have staff that care and were able to guide our daughter back onto the path of recovery. She has much work ahead now that she’s home, but we have hope restored for her ultimate recovery.”
– Grateful Parent of a Selah House Alumnus

“Selah House was such a blessing in my life! I made such amazing and supportive friends among other clients. Most of the staff are very understanding, compassionate, and sincere. The homey environment makes the healing process so much easier! I was terrified to take the intimidating step to be admitted to Selah, but it was so worth it. There are lots of hard things at Selah, but it also provided me with lots of good memories. And most importantly, they kickstarted my recovery journey and helped me to find myself! I would recommend Selah to anyone looking for their life back from an eating disorder.”
– Grateful Selah House Alumnus

“From the first time I reached out to admissions at Selah House, I felt seen and heard. I experienced sincere heartfelt compassion and understanding from someone who experienced the same challenges my daughter was facing. There were multiple phone calls of support and even help with insurance issues. My daughter’s life was in the balance. Selah House was a huge part of her rescue. I highly recommend Selah House! The staff worked with us, helping us to feel comfortable with their treatment program. This is a very complicated issue and having competent professionals who are kind and committed to getting the care needed for your loved one is worth its weight in gold. Selah House will radically and tremendously impact the life of your loved one and your family! Don’t hesitate to reach out to them for help!”
– Grateful Parent of a Selah House Alumnus
