Are you supporting someone with an eating disorder? We are here to help.
Caring for someone with an eating disorder can feel confusing, heavy, and often very lonely. You may want to help, but not know how. You may worry about saying the wrong thing, or feel unsure where support even begins.
We want you to know this: support matters, not just for those struggling, but for the people who love and care for them, too.
Our Eating Disorder Support Group was created as a compassionate, grounding space for individuals navigating eating disorders at any stage of their journey. It is also a resource you can gently share with someone you care about, whether that's a child you are supporting, a partner, a close friend, or a loved one you are worried about.
One of the strengths of this group is its multidisciplinary approach. The group is led by Sara Turner, RN, and co-facilitated by Megan Miller, LGPC. This combination matters.
Eating disorders affect the whole person. Having both medical and mental health perspectives in the room allows for care that is informed, compassionate, and balanced. Medical understanding helps ensure safety and awareness of the body's needs, while emotional and psychological support creates space to process thoughts, feelings, and patterns without shame or pressure. Together, this approach offers support that is both grounded and deeply human.
If you are reading this for yourself, know that you don't need to be "ready" to deserve support. And if you are reading this thinking of someone else, we invite you to share this group with them, not as a push or a fix, but as an option for gentle, ongoing support.
This group meets once a month on Saturdays at 10 AM and is designed to be calm, non-judgmental, and welcoming. Participation can look like sharing, listening, or simply being present.
If you or someone you care about may benefit, we invite you to fill out the interest form on our website to learn more and see if this group feels like a good fit -- no pressure, no obligation.
Support is not something anyone should have to navigate alone. We are here to help hold that space.
P.S. If you are caring for someone with an eating disorder (or supporting a loved one through any ongoing health or mental health challenge), you deserve care as well. Holding space for someone else can be emotionally and physically exhausting, and it's common for caregivers to put their own needs last.
Our Caregiver Support service, led by Sara Turner, RN, offers one-on-one support for caregivers who need a place to process, ask questions, and receive compassionate guidance. These sessions are designed to support your nervous system, reduce burnout, and help you feel more grounded and resourced as you care for others.
If you are looking for personal support alongside (or separate from) group care, we invite you to learn more about Caregiver Support on our website, or call our office at (410)989-2034.
