Body Image Support Group

This group offers an intentional space where everyone can show up as themselves without shame or fear of judgment. It is for anyone struggling with their body image and or an eating disorder, anyone continuing their eating disorder recovery or even those just looking to strengthen their own body image. This group will provide an opportunity to process emotions and experiences with others who have been through similar struggles, without having to explain yourself. In a culture heavily influenced by diet culture this group is to encourage bodily awareness and embrace body neutrality.

The structure of the group will include art making, mindfulness practices and group discussion. Please note, the group is a supplemental support and is not a replacement for higher levels of care, therapy, or medical advice.

Disclaimer: Group members are encouraged to participate in this group as a support and are strongly encouraged to be meeting with an individual therapist to process any emotional distress that could potentially arise during the support group. Due to the support group format it is not guaranteed that all members of the group will have the opportunity to process each of their individual concerns each week, highlighting the importance of having the support of an individual
therapist in place.
