Continue Your Recovery Journey
with Our Alumni Support Groups
Healing doesn't end when treatment does. Our support continues, even after treatment. Join a recovery-focused community where you can connect with others who relate, share experiences and perspectives, and find encouragement along the way.
Eating disorder support groups for alumni, caregivers, and families
Our virtual support groups are primarily clinician-led and exclusively for ERC alumni and caregivers who have loved ones currently or previously in treatment.
Ongoing support can be an important part of long-term recovery from anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder or ARFID. Here you’ll find a welcoming place to connect and get support.
A safe space to connect and be heard
Meetings are private
What’s shared in the group stays in the group. Sessions are not recorded, and everyone joins from their own personal space.
Share at your own pace
You don’t have to share until you feel ready to. You’re welcome to listen, reflect, or join the conversation when it feels right to you.
Guided by clinicians
Most groups are clinician-led to keep the conversations recovery-oriented, grounded and supportive.
Support is available, wherever you are in your journey.
While ERC Pathlight’s support groups are reserved for alumni and caregivers who have loved ones currently or previously in our care, we recognize that the broader recovery community visits this page looking for help.
We want to make sure you have a clear path to that support.
