6 Week Support Group; Starts November 7th, 7-8.30pm EST
Have you struggled with fitting in? Do you often feel hopeless about the future? Are your relationships often chaotic? Is loneliness a common emotion for you? Do you often engage in harmful or risky behaviors, but struggle to understand why? This group may be for you.
In this six-week group we will come to better understand Complex-PTSD. The group will help participants to understand Complex-PTSD and how it differs from more traditional definitions of PTSD. The group will also explore the origins of Complex-PTSD and will help to guide participants where to go next.
In addition to learning about Complex-PTSD, the group will also help participants begin to implement skills to begin coping and healing.

Preparing for and making it through December Holidays

The Holidays can be hard as they often revolve around food related activities and there is a high likelihood of being around family, friends, or colleagues who reinforce harmful diet culture ideals. In this 6 week support group we will confidently share our experiences, support others, and learn some skills to plan for getting through these holidays as smoothly as possible.
This support group will be founded in anti-diet, food and weight neutral bodily autonomy
