FREE EATING DISORDER SUPPORT GROUPS
Eating disorder healing is hard—it can feel nearly impossible at times—and that’s why we’re so happy that there are many free virtual eating disorder support groups available. No matter what you need or the kind of community you’re looking for, there’s likely a group for you to join.
Please send this resource to someone who needs it or save it for yourself. As you evolve, the eating disorder support groups you need will evolve too.
