The Footscray Recovery Support Group is for people with an eating disorder who have already taken the first steps towards recovery but would like some extra support. You must be over 18 to attend, and not a current hospital in-patient or someone whose physical or emotional health is severely compromised.It is not a therapy group, but a peer support group for sharing experiences, discovering new coping strategies and stress management skills in a safe environment where you can enjoy the interaction with people in a similar situation to your own. Cost: $3, payable at the beginning of the session.
