Guidance and Assistance for Family and Friends of Those Striving to Overcome an Eating Disorder

EDOYR presents a four week program, Guidance and Assistance for Family and Friends of Those Striving to Overcome an Eating Disorder support group with Flora Svinarenko, BSW, MSW, RSW.  It meets for four Tuesdays starting on July 3 from 6:45pm to 7:45pm.

Support for family and friends is vital in the recovery of a loved one. A family member or a friend needs to be a strong, safe and consistent source of support and needs to take care of themselves in order to do so. It is good to know that you are not alone when you experience stress, frustration or anger: an eating disorder affects the whole family.

LOCATION: 300 John Street, Suite 300
Thornhill ON, L3T 5W5

EDOYR's first ever Recovery Support Group

Starting on June 12 for a total of eight Tuesdays, Eating Disorders of York Region's first ever Recovery Support Group will be hosted in Thornhill, ON from 5 to 6pm.

Flora Svinarenko, psychotherapist, will facilitate these groups.

The Recovery group is intended for those who are currently working actively on maintaining changes they've made in regards to their eating behaviours while also attending other group programs offered by EDOYR or participating in eating disorder treatment.

Located in a safe and empathetic environment, this group will provide attendees with coping tools and support needed to address complicated emotions, unhealthy behaviours or unhelpful thoughts.

The Recovery group is not structured, so individuals can bring their issues, difficulties and achievements up for discussion.

The Recovery group will also bring everyone in attendance together to explore helpful and useful ways to reduce symptoms and make meaningful changes.

The road to recovery can be challenging and emotional support is necessary to overcome or prevent lapses.

Register for the group online, today!
