Virtual Eating Disorder Support Groups
Why Join a Support Group
While each recovery journey is unique, finding a network of supportive individuals who can relate to your story can provide valuable information, perspective, and peer guidance, reminding you throughout that you are not alone.
How it Works / How to Join
Eating Recovery Center’s free eating disorder support groups offer peer support facilitated by trained clinicians.
Browse our comprehensive list of weekly support group offerings as well as our time limited support series to find a group that best meets your unique needs. Once you have found the group that best suits you, simply click ‘register’ and follow the registration prompts. You will receive a confirmation with the support group zoom link to the email provided during registration (Pro Tip: this link will remain the same from week to week, so no need to register again!)

Build Your Community
Please note, the size of our group may fluctuate from week to week. Any group that consistently has 20 or more attendees is evaluated by our team to ensure all participants are able to have a positive experience. To reduce overflow of our weekly support groups, we ask that you limit registration to one group at a time (Pro Tip: If you are feeling like you need a little extra support, we suggest looking into our support group series which can offer additional opportunities to connect.)
Support Group Guidelines
To best ensure a safe space for all group members along their mental health journey, our facilitators ask that each attendee abide by the following guidelines.
Confidentiality
- No cell phones or electronic devices in group
- You must be alone and in a private room
- No recording of support group
- Confidentiality - what is said in group stays in group
- Be mindful of what is in your camera view
- Camera must be on during group
- For the privacy of our attendees, we do not allow observers
Content of Discussion
- Use “I” statements to speak in the first person
- Refrain from discussing specific numbers: weight, clothing size, calories, duration of exercise, etc. or making “good or bad” judgements about foods
Parameters of Care
- Support groups are an adjunct to outpatient care, and do not replace treatment needs
- Support groups are not therapy
- Support groups are peer-led groups
- A trained facilitator for each group
- Groups are for individuals 18+
