General Peer Support Group for Eating Disorder Recovery
Our general peer support group is open to individuals struggling with any eating disorder, and a formal diagnosis is not required to participate. These groups are meant to complement formal mental health services and/or medical treatment, rather than replace these services.
Peer Support Groups are facilitated by Hopewell volunteers who have experience and/or education in group facilitating and/or in the area of eating disorders. While there is a general structure to each week, the facilitator works with participants to include topics of discussion relevant to their recovery journey.
Support groups are open to residents of Eastern Ontario aged 17+.

Striving for Balance: A Recovery Group for Overachievers
This group offers support for individuals with eating disorders, focusing on the challenges of perfectionism, high standards, and stress. Discussions will address the pressures of achievement-driven lifestyles and their impact on food, body image, and self-worth. Members will explore self-compassion, stress management, and strategies to break disordered eating patterns while fostering a healthier relationship with food and their bodies. The group also provides a space to connect with others facing similar challenges.
