Who runs the groups?
All EDV support group facilitators have personal lived experience with an eating disorder or have been a carer (depending who the group is for).
Do I need to book? Why?
Yes, we require you to book in if you are planning on attending – see links above.
We honour your time and the time of our facilitators. If we need to cancel a group for any reason we want to give you as much notice as possible to minimise inconvenience.
Support groups do not run if only one person is booked in, and that instance we would contact you to advise that it is not going ahead and offer one-to-one support to you via the EDV Hub.
I’m under 18 – can I attend?
Unfortunately, the groups are currently only for people 18+.
How do you keep the groups safe?
EDV uses a set of guidelines to ensure support groups are recovery-focused and non-triggering for group members. The guidelines are discussed at the beginning of each group. We also have in place a Group Agreement, which every participant agrees to when registering to attend a group. Read the Group Agreement.
How do I give feedback on groups?
You can provide feedback about our groups on our Feedback and Complaints page.
