Introductory Group for Those with Disordered Eating
Is disordered eating getting in the way of your life? Do you want to learn more about where to get started on the road to recovery? Do you want to know what your treatment options are or how to talk to your health care provider about it or to get more information?
This group is open to patients of the Hamilton Family Health Team. You may be referred by a health care provider or self-refer.
Offered both online and in-person based on patient preference. Once a week, for 4 weeks.
In this group you will learn about:
- Disordered eating and eating disorders
- The risks of disordered eating and related behaviours
- The function of eating disorders (why they come about or stick around)
- Treatment approaches, skills, resources, and follow up options
After attending all 4 sessions, you will leave the group with at least one follow-up recommendation, which will be sent to you and your Hamilton Family Health Team provider.
