CUNY TV called on our experts when exploring eating disorders in NYC’s Asian American community. Our medical director, Dr. Sandeep Dhringra, discusses the widespread issue, which affects one in five Asian American women, and how work like ours helps them begin to heal. The episode will air throughout March, and is available any time online:
This is terrific recognition for our Asian Outreach program, which has become an essential part of the communities it serves, helping families support each other and children work through trauma. And it is a great way for us to raise awareness of these kinds of disorders–and to help people find solutions and hope.

Elisa understands what they are going through. She is from the neighborhood. She attended PS 89 herself. When she was 17 and graduated high school, she started volunteering here in hopes that it would lead to an entry level job as a youth worker. The bet paid off, and within three months she was hired. Since then she put in years of hard work, and went up the ladder with promotions. In 2012 she earned her bachelor’s and is now a NYS certified teacher.
