Mccallum saved my life from anorexia. If it wasn’t for my amazing team there (therapist, dietitian, and psychiatrist) i wouldn’t be alive today. if you want to get rid of your eating disorder once and for all, this is the place to go; especially if you’re an athlete like myself. they have an amazing program just for athletes. please consider coming to McCallum. there is nothing i would say badly about this place.
