Group Support & Education
Group settings provides a safe and open space for discussion on a wide variety of topics. We have a few different group support options to better assist your needs.
Emotion Coaching Family Therapy Group (For caregivers)
We NEED YOU! Parents and caregivers are such an invaluable resource and support system for a child or loved one with mental health struggles, including eating disorders. Watch this video to understand how IMPORTANT you are in the process!
Inspired by Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT) developed by Dr. Adele LaFrance, this evidence-based 3-hour group will introduce and apply practical skills to strengthen relationships and respond to strong emotional reactions – expressions of worry, anger, hopelessness, and even silence. These skills can be invaluable when supporting your loved one through family based treatment in eating disorder recovery.
Parents and caregivers will learn the basics of navigating and guiding their loved one experiencing big feelings, emotional dysregulation, or mental health concerns such as eating disorders.
Different from other mainstream parenting models, EFFT is rooted in a deep belief in the healing power of families. Parents and their child are "wired" together; the model supports parents being active agents of healing through providing tools to restore connection in their relationship with their child, and feel more empowered when met with tough parenting situations such as food refusal . Parents will also be supported to identify, work through, and overcome many obstacles that surface through the journey of emotional and behavioral change.
This group is introductory and does not take the place of individual work with a therapist or dietitian. The group is intended to be educational and supportive in nature.
*The group is led by a Registered Dietitian trained in the EFFT model.

Crossroads (18+yr)
Those with binge eating disorder and/or emotional eating often suffer in silence, filled with shame and guilt. Often, repeated self-promises to never over eat or binge again are met with attempts to control one’s food intake, which then lead one to fall into the cycle once more. This support group is a space for those struggling with binge eating, those with a history of binge eating, or those in larger bodies working towards food peace and body acceptance to come together, share their experiences, and connect with those with similar struggles. Group members will have the opportunity to share their experiences and struggles, while also offering support to one another in a safe environment.
This is NOT a process group as it will be facilitated by a registered dietitian. It will provide opportunities for nutrition education and serve to empower you for recovery by knowing you are not alone.
