EVENT DESCRIPTION

This educational and supportive workshop is for family members or loved ones of those who struggle with eating disorders. This workshop is open to anyone supporting someone suffering with this illness. We hope to offer you a space which will not only benefit your loved one, but also support you along your own journey of understanding the emotional intricacies of a relationship with food.

We would like to offer some ideas on how to manage this illness and the emotions around it, in a less pressured and more accepting way.
