Birmingham LGBT is hosting a six-week support & psychoeducation group, facilitated by Jessica Sharman MUKCP - Integrative Psychotherapist and Peer Support Worker in Eating Disorders.
This group will provide a safe space for LGBTQ+ individuals to explore their eating difficulties, gain peer support, and learn coping skills for eating and body image difficulties, facilitated by a psychotherapist and peer support worker with lived experience of eating disorder recovery and being a member of the LGBTQ+ community.
You do not need a formal eating disorder diagnosis to join this group.
This group will be most applicable to those struggling with eating and body image. The group contents might feel less applicable to those experiencing ARFID or a restricted diet based due to sensory difficulties.

23rd July
30th July

In making this booking, you agree to the following terms:
That Jessica can phone you to go through a pre-sessions assessment, which will include a health risk assessment and noting details of your GP and emergency contacts.
Your commitment to attend all six sessions if you can. We understand that life can get in the way, but we want participants to gain the maximum benefit from the sessions.
