For individuals and families navigating eating disorder recovery

Who is this group for:

People who are actively struggling or in the early stages of recovery

Parents supporting a child, teen, or adult child

Partners or close support people

What this group offers:

This group focuses on helping people understand what’s really going on and how to

respond in ways that support recovery rather than reinforce the eating disorder.

The aim is clarity, confidence, and practical next steps.

Participants leave with:

  • A clearer understanding of the eating disorder and how it operates

  • Tools to reduce power struggles and fear

  • Greater confidence in how to respond — as an individual or as a parent/support person

  • A stronger sense of momentum, even when motivation is low
