Body Reborn
Community Care Program
Our community care program, Body Reborn, provides a virtual, intersectional community for those who struggle with disordered eating and have faced systemic barriers due to race (e.g. those that originate for people of color). Over the course of 8 weeks, we'll engage in education and live discussion around systemic oppression, trauma, and their effects on our relationship with food/body.
Our group will discuss the intersection of body image, systemic bias, oppression, and other potentially challenging topics in a carefully facilitated, supportive space. While we aim for safety, complete trigger avoidance cannot be guaranteed. You may gain the most benefit from the space if you (a) are already engaging, comfortably, in these reflections individually; and/or (b) are comfortable in your outpatient care level.
Space is limited, therefore we ask that you please complete the application thoughtfully and authentically as possible.
OUR PROGRAM CONSISTS OF TWO PILLARS
1) BODY LIBERATION
Learn practical techniques to address your disordered eating and develop a personalized healing plan.
These workshops are designed to provide insights into reasons why strained relationships with food develop and how you can develop a more supported relationship with your body.
2) PEER SUPPORT
Our peer support group provides a space for those seeking community on their mental health journey, to help you foster connection with like-minded people.
