The Eating Disorder Support Network of Alberta is committed to reducing stigma and offering help at all stages of recovery to those affected by EDs.

Our next online drop-in support group is tomorrow

Our next online drop-in support group is tomorrow night. This group is suitable for parents, friends, siblings, loved ones, and supporters of an individual with eating disorders/disordered eating.

There are many feelings that come with supporting a loved one with an eating disorder. None of them are wrong. You deserve support and a safe space to explore those feelings and feel heard.

Drop in this week, and any Wednesday this fall. If the pricing of this group is a concern, please email info@edsna.ca, and we may be able to reduce or waive your fees.

Self care is something we hear a lot about, but it

Self care is something we hear a lot about, but it is something that is completely unique to you. There is no one right way to do self care. It can be nourishing your body, dancing like no one is watching, reading a book, tidying your space, a creative hobby, or a long walk. It can be time alone or time with people you love. It can be asking for help or signing up for a support group. It can happen over a long period of time, or in minutes.

How do you practice self care? How has that changed over the years?

While this year in particular has been a rollercoa

While this year in particular has been a rollercoaster for many, we might also need a little more support when unusual or stressful situations happen at other points in our lives. This can include events like seasonal holidays, job changes, or exam time.

This interactive, 2-hour online workshop will offer support strategies and tips for those working through their own eating disorder recovery journey, especially during those extra stressful parts of our lives.

Topics covered will include, but are not limited to:

🟣Coping strategies during stressful times

🟣Coping strategies to support ongoing recovery

🟣Identifying signs of relapse and accessing additional supports

As with all EDSNA support groups, this is a supportive workshop, not treatment. We urge you to connect with other qualified treatment professionals, including your treatment team, for help that is unique to you.

You can register for this workshop through the link in our bio.
