SupportED Spoonies: ED Recovery w/ Chronic Illness
An online support group for those navigating eating disorder recovery while living with a chronic health condition/non-visible disability. Join us in a space where you can meet others who may validate, encourage, and understand your experiences. Meetings will include discussions around self-advocacy, mindfulness, experiences of discrimination, and self-care. We will explore what it means to live in a body that can not be “fixed” and instead, start thinking about the notion that we can be both “well” and “sick”, and what possibilities this may open up.

Teen Food and Body Image Group
This group is for teens (age 13-18) who are in recovery from an eating disorder. This group will create space to explore the unique experiences teens face while navigating recovery beyond the limits of food and body, including: school, academics, family dynamics, peer relationships, athletics, and more. We will explore the effects of social media, diet culture, experiences of discrimination, & weight stigma through a Health At Every Size -informed & social justice approach. Tools and strategies will be shared to support participants in their journey towards body neutrality, respect, acceptance, and liberation.
