Eating Disorders Association NI - Online Support Group

Presently, this service is specifically available for anyone who is affected by Binge Eating Disorder. The group’s ethos is that of hope and recovery and the aim of the group is to provide a safe and contained space whereby people can open up and talk about their thoughts, feelings and experiences without fear of judgement. This service provides another means of support for people affected by binge eating disorder particularly in cases where face to face support may feel daunting or overwhelming. There is no pressure to speak if you do not feel ready, it is OK to come along and simply listen and observe. The Online Support Group Service is offered to people aged 18 and over only.
