EDV Online Support Groups - SE-ED

In this group we welcome individuals experiencing a long term eating disorder (10+ years) where attempts at treatment have so far been unsuccessful. The group gives people the opportunity to draw upon the support, experience and skills of others facing similar SE-ED issues. It is an open space to discuss what you are struggling with, reflect on current challenges and discuss coping tools.

Please note that this group is for Victorian residents only.
