Eating disorder support group Thursday evenings 7-8pm Focus Bath, 36 Gay St.
Focus offers a free support group for people with Eating Disorders who are 18 years and above.
The ED Support Group has been running successfully at Focus for the past 16 years. We offer a safe and confidential space to open up about your thoughts, feelings and experiences related to Eating Disorders.
We recognise how hard it is embarking on the journey of recovery alone, and provide emotional and practical support in a safe and confidential environment. The group takes a pro recovery approach and is an opportunity to share ideas and talk about feelings without going into details of ED behaviour that might be triggering to others. Our aim is to create a community of people who can help each other by sharing their similar experiences.
The group is completely free, although you are welcome to make a donation. Currently, the group runs weekly as a hybrid with one week online and the other face to face on Thursday evenings 7-8pm Focus Bath, 36 Gay St.
