Support Groups

Our support groups are designed to support recovery with deep dives into specific topics. Learn, connect with others, and develop skills and tools.

These virtual groups are kept small to increase comfort and participation. Groups are led by a variety of facilitators, including Dietitians, Therapists, and others.

Subsidies are available so that cost is not a barrier for anyone.

Breaking Free from Binge Eating

Join Shannon Smith, Therapist & Intuitive Eating Counsellor, for this group focused on skills for breaking free from binge eating.

Binge eating is stigmatized and often misunderstood. This group is an intensive dive into strategies to deal with binge eating. This group meets for two consecutive weeks. We then take a few weeks to practise what we learn and meet again a few weeks later.

This group focuses on:

  • The neuroscience behind binge eating

  • Why nourishing ourselves is so critical

  • Strategies to address the urge to binge

  • Tuning into hunger and fullness cues

Next group runs meets May 6, 13 and June 10 from 7:30 – 9:00 pm Atlantic time.

Cost: $75. If cost is a barrier to you, please reach out.

Riding The Wave: Emotions and Recovery

Eight Week Group

Join Alyssa Walsh, Certified Canadian Counsellor and person with lived experience, for a five week skills group on emotional regulation.

  • Learn about the basics of feelings and emotions: what are they, how do they happen, and their function

  • Explore themes of overwhelm and avoidance

  • Look at the socio-cultural influences that disconnect us from our emotions

Alyssa will share some of her favourite grounding and coping skills, and will support participants to build up their own “toolbox” of their favourites.

Through activities, education, and conversation, you can expect to get to know your own emotions a little bit better, have a few more tools to support yourself, and learn about emotional regulation both in general and in relation to disordered eating.

Next group runs May 6 to June 24 from 7:00 – 9:00 pm Atlantic time.

Eight Week Group: $75-$300 (sliding scale).

This group is open to anyone 16+ living in Canada.
