Guidelines

We are committed to creating a safe space for all who visit our support group. For the safety and well-being of all attendees we have created the following guidelines:

​

1. We don't use specifics in terms of weight or behaviors. Instead, we help identify emotions and gather strategies, recovery tools, and resources for dealing with triggers.

​

2. We also avoid sharing specific foods or meals. However, we can discuss eating meals as general topics - including meal planning suggestions, snacks, grocery shopping strategies etc. - while focusing on nourishing our bodies and embracing their capabilities.

​

3. If you are worried about a possibly triggering subject, please ask a facilitator before sharing with the larger group.

​

4. We do not endorse a specific care facility or treatment team. However, we welcome personal feedback as appropriate if someone asks about a provider or facility. We encourage you to have a quality eating disorder care team and support system to help you make decisions about treatment. We cannot offer medical advice and will always encourage you seek their feedback.

​

5. Most importantly, this is intended to be a safe place to reach out for support. We're here to bounce ideas off of, respectively challenge each other's ED voice, and offer encouragement.

​

Let’s work together toward recovery!

Thank you,

Your Facilitators
