About This Session
Join Registered Nurse Chantelle Jensen for an interactive presentation and facilitated discussion. Meal times can be extremely difficult, not only for people experiencing an eating disorder or disordered eating, but for those supporting them as well. This workshop will offer:
- discussion on how to best support someone before, during, and after meal times.
- strategies to reduce conflict around meal planning and meal times.
- how to effectively deal with difficult situations centred around meal times.
- how to best encourage individuals to honour their hunger.
EDSNA support groups & workshops are always:
- Professionally-facilitated by people with extensive backgrounds in eating disorders.
- Intended to support those wishing to continue on the path of recovery in a safe, non-judgmental environment.
- Limited to a small number of participants to allow everyone to participate fully.
PLEASE NOTE: This workshop is intended as support, and is not a substitute for treatment. We encourage you to speak with your Physician about treatment options specific to your circumstances.
