One or two members of the CAPS professional staff typically lead eating disorders groups. Each group consists of approximately six to eight members in addition to the co-leaders. The focus of the group is to help you regain a positive and healthy attitude toward food and toward yourself and to explore other aspects of your life as they relate to the eating disorder. Groups can give you support in the struggle, since all group members share similar concerns. In addition, leaders provide useful information and guidance as needed.
Groups run for one semester with the option of continuing for additional semesters.
