Eating Disorder Recovery Workshop for Teens

(ONLINE)

This no-cost workshop is designed for teens (ages 12–17) who are exploring support options for eating disorder recovery. It will be facilitated by Sophie Balisky, a counselling psychology student who has successfully navigated her own eating disorder recovery journey. Sophie brings a unique and powerful perspective, sharing her story with honesty and vulnerability—helping to normalise the vulnerability that comes with recovery.

We often hear from teens in our recovery community how deeply important emotional validation is during this process. That’s why this workshop is grounded in empathy, compassion, and the belief that everyone deserves to feel seen and heard.

Over the course of 1.5 hours, we’ll explore some of the unhelpful thoughts that can hold recovery back—like the myth that you have to be “sick enough” to deserve support. We’ll also dive into bigger themes like practical tools for recovery, the value of mentorship, and how to nurture a sense of hope.

Eligibility:

• Ages of 12-17

• No Diagnosis Required

• Participants must be medically stable

• Parent/Caregiver and teen consent required

Please note: This group is intended to provide support to complement treatment and is not a substitute for it. Suicidal ideation and self-harm should be addressed with qualified clinicians. If you need help finding appropriate support, please book an appointment with our Recovery Navigator or contact the Distress Centre.
