Women’s Services & Resources is currently accepting mentors and participants for our Fed Up with Food support group. Fed up with Food is a mentoring program where women who have recovered from eating disorders mentor those who are still struggling. On top of one on one mentoring, all mentors and participants will come together for a weekly support group meeting facilitated by two therapists who specialize in eating disorders.
Lauren, a former co-facilitator of the group, describes the support group: “The Fed up With Food program is based loosely on the Twelve Step Program and views eating disorders as compulsive-addictive behavior. The purpose of the groups is to find more healthy coping mechanics and change destructive thought patterns while providing a support system.
Mentoring helps participants to better cope with their eating problem by offering a listening ear when needed and providing women with a support system to help deal with the challenges that recovery presents. I think this is probably the most beneficial part of the group.”
Personal mentors and weekly support meetings provide the validation, tools, and support you need to begin overcoming your eating disorder.
