Hopewell’s Circles of Support are weekly social nights designed for anyone navigating eating disorders or disordered eating. These gatherings offer a chance to step outside the intensity of recovery work and simply connect — sharing stories, expressing yourself, and relaxing in a judgment‑free environment.

Together, we create community, ease feelings of isolation, and celebrate the journey toward healing relationships with food, body, and movement.

Open to support group members, mentors & mentees, volunteers, and anyone in Ottawa who is in recovery or has recovered from an eating disorder. You can even bring a friend!

Circles of Support


Thank you to the Government of Ontario and the Ontario Trillium Foundation for your trust and support. Your investment empowers us to build more efficient and effective programs and services, creating meaningful impact in our community.
