Eating disorders often distort self-perception, impacting self-worth and body image. Even as behaviours improve, emotional effects can linger. Our Body Image & Self-Acceptance programs aim to break these patterns and build a more compassionate relationship with yourself.

SELF-ACCEPTANCE & BODY IMAGE

In our Body Image programs, we address the emotional roots of body image struggles, with guided support and evidence-based tools,—reducing shame, encouraging self-acceptance, and shifting from control to care. These programs support healing at any stage.

Build deeper self-understanding through reflection and shared experience in our Self Acceptance programs. Peer mentors share real recovery journeys—offering hope, resilience, and reminders that healing is powerful, personal, and ongoing.

Body Image Workshop

Date: Wednesday, April 15
Time: 6:30pm - 8:30pm
Location: Online 
Capacity: 20
Open to: AB only

This two-hour workshop examines the impact of diet culture on body image, eating behaviours, and self-worth. Together, we’ll explore the connection between thoughts and emotions—and how understanding this relationship can be a key step toward healing. You’ll be introduced to tools that support reconnection with your body, rebuilding trust, and shifting from control to care and self-compassion. Recovery from body image struggles isn't about fixing your body; it's about challenging the culture that taught you to mistrust it.
