Our Community Recovery Course
Through teaching, discussion, stories of recovery and tools for life, our unique Recovery Course has been successfully helping individuals and families break free from the grip of eating disorders for more than ten years
The Course is for anyone who believes they have an eating disorder because issues around eating have taken over their life. You don’t have to have an ‘official’ diagnosis to come and it doesn’t matter what sort of eating disorder you have.
Created by two mums who have been through eating disorders in their families, the course has as much in it for parents, friends and family as it does for those directly affected, and courses are open to all.
Course are run with accredited, trained leaders delivering the content and facilitating the discussion and interaction times, providing a safe, non-judgemental space for all to learn and grow. Each session focuses on a particular topic, for example how food gets linked to feelings, or the influence of self-image and addiction, and is a mixture of stories of teaching, discussion, stories of recovery, and tools for life.
At tastelife, we also try to have fun along the journey of recovery. We know that eating disorders can be all consuming, and part of walking into recovery is beginning to enjoy ourselves again, and find the joy in our relationships with other people. Throughout the course we’ll have moments to laugh together alongside everything else.
The subsidised cost of the course is £59 per person for the 8 weeks, however, if money is an issue please email us at.hello@tastelifeuk.org We also offer £5 taster sessions that last for 1 hour if you would like to attend before deciding to commit to the full course.
