This is a peer support session for Body Image Self-Care & Support. We will share our experiences with Body Image stress and exchange Self-Care strategies for mutual support. Most people have a "Bad Body Image Day" sometimes. For some of us this can be a source of significant stress. I would love to hear your self journey and share a bit of mine. All are welcome who have experience of this topic.

Eating disorders can affect food, body, mood, relationships, and the way you talk to yourself. Peer support groups make room for that experience without diet talk, weight focus, or judgment.
Understanding eating disorders
Living with or recovering from an eating disorder can be emotionally exhausting and deeply isolating. Shame, secrecy, and control often cloud the path to healing, and it can be hard to talk openly. Peer support offers a safe, compassionate environment where people can be honest without judgment. It’s a space to share small victories, setbacks, and affirmations — creating a powerful network of understanding and support.
How peer support helps with eating disorders
Peer support helps with eating disorders because shame and isolation often grow alongside the disorder itself. A group can offer recognition, language, and the steadying experience of being with others who get the inner conversation.
