We Serve Caregivers of those with Eating Disorders

Living in Grace Foundation is dedicated to serving caregivers who are often the unsung heroes in the battle against eating disorders. We recognize your strength and courage as you stand by your loved one’s side. We understand that while you’re focused on their well-being, it’s easy to neglect your own needs.

That’s why we offer comprehensive support services tailored specifically for caregivers. From educational resources and counseling services to peer support groups and wellness programs, we aim to provide a holistic approach to caregiver support.

Our Eating Disorder Resources

We offer a wealth of resources designed to equip you with the knowledge necessary to understand and cope with eating disorders. Our resources include informative articles, expert advice, personal stories from other caregivers, and practical tips on self-care.

 

 

COURSES

Nourishing Hope’s eating disorder workshops for caregivers (as well as those who are educators, coaches or other concerned folks) provide a dedicated space for learning and growth, offering flexible options such as 1- and 2-day courses along with evening sessions tailored exclusively for caregivers. By focusing on the unique challenges and needs of those supporting individuals with eating disorders, these workshops equip caregivers with essential knowledge, practical strategies, and emotional support necessary to navigate this complex journey with resilience and understanding. Nourishing Hope’s comprehensive approach fosters a nurturing environment where caregivers can deepen their understanding, enhance their skills, and find solace in a community committed to promoting healing and well-being within families facing these challenges.

PEER SUPPORT

Living in Grace offers valuable peer and family support for individuals caring for a loved one with an eating disorder. Through 90-minute-long sessions limited to no more than 10 participants at a time, the organization creates a safe and intimate space for sharing experiences, gaining insights, and receiving encouragement from others facing similar challenges. This structured format allows for meaningful connections to form among participants and fosters a supportive community where individuals can feel understood, validated, and empowered in their caregiving journey. Living in Grace’s focus on peer and family support not only provides practical strategies for dealing with the complexities of eating disorders but also offers emotional respite and strength through shared understanding and solidarity.

Because in the face of adversity, we choose resilience. In the face of despair, we choose hope. And in the face of struggle, we choose to live in grace.
