Support Group for
Adults with Eating Disorders

(6 weeks online)

“Making My Skills Work For Me” Group

It is a common complaint that we hear – clients leave programs with binders full of skills that are supposed to work in a time of need. However, most clients find that they cannot access the skills when they are most dysregulated and end up feeling it is a personal failure. The truth is that learning skills is not like learning social studies or mathematics. For skills to work, they have to be first understood and practiced before they can be implemented, especially when we are triggered and upset.

In this group we will bring up and discuss some of the popular and useful skills, take time to understand how they work and when they are most handy. We will also talk about the times you have tried to use a skill and explore why they have not worked in the past. Different skills work or different people and we will also explore how you can find the skills that work best for eachperson.

This 6-week, online support group offers individuals (18 years and older) an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of their eating disorders and connect with others who share similar experiences.

This group will help participants to:

Explore the deeper emotional reasons why a person may develop an eating disorder 

• Provide a sense of hope and motivation in the recovery process 

• Gain a better understanding of how to reach sustained recovery

• Teach practical coping skills

This group is open to all types of eating disorder-related concerns. It is our goal to focus on the underlying emotional issues that are common to all eating disorders. Everyone is welcome.

Please note: This support group is not therapy and is not a substitute for treatment.
