Sunday Support Group - "Slowing the Impossible Becomes Possible"
Description: This is a support group for those reclaiming their lives from eating disorders. The idea for this group was inspired by my own experiences on the bumpy road to recovery, and a desire to strengthen the "safety net" for others. Discovering or re-discovering one's identity is a big part of the recovery process. Isolation and lack of on-going support during can only undermine the recovery process and make it that much easier for the eating disorder to survive and/or return. Maximum of eight group members.
Location: Lotus Path, 23123 Ventura Boulevard, Suite 210, Woodland Hills, CA 91364
For Adults: Sundays, 3:00-4:30pm
