About this Group
This virtual peer-led support group is designed for moms and birthing people in the perinatal period (from pregnancy up to 4 years after birth) who are currently experiencing or have experienced eating disorders. No formal diagnosis is required to join. Welcome individuals navigating all forms of disordered eating, including restrictive patterns, compensatory behaviors, overexercising, obsessive over food and body thoughts, rigid thoughts and beliefs around food and body, excessive concerns about health, compulsive body checking and weighing, constant food noise and distressing thoughts about body. The postpartum period—and life with young children—can bring unique challenges that make recovery and self-care even more complex. This group offers a brave, judgment-free space to connect with others who truly understand. Whether you're considering recovery or have been in recovery for some time, you are welcome here. Together, we share stories, resources, and encouragement—with the goal of reducing isolation and building hope. In this group, we will not share the details of eating disorder behaviors, share specific numbers (like weight), or make comparisons. We recognize this group is during lunchtime and we encourage you to nourish yourself during this time. However, this is not a meal support group and we ask that you eat and drink off camera. 🔔 PLEASE NOTE: THIS GROUP IS FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE. We allow the first 16 members to join. Thank you for understanding! ✅Cameras are required during introductions for the safety of all group members. Please make sure your technology allows you to turn on your camera at least briefly for this portion of the session. ✅The session will take place via Zoom (from the ShareWell website), so make sure your device is compatible with the Zoom app. This may require updating or downloading the Zoom app. Note: This group is not for people processing the details and trauma of pregnancy and/or infant loss. Please join one of our Loss and Grief Support Groups for this important support.
