Meal + Peer Support Groups
Our support groups are safe, non-judgmental spaces to process your emotions, connect with others, and celebrate your wins and challenges. Each support group is led by an eating disorder professional to ensure appropriate support. There is absolutely no obligation or expectation to join – you can attend groups as much or as little as you would like.

Moderated Discussion Forums
All posts and discussion boards are moderated and must be approved by VERY staff. We encourage honest, open conversation where members are encouraged to share their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. We also intend to create a safe space for those struggling with disordered eating or eating disorders by prohibiting mention of weight, numbers, calories, foods, and explicit details of trauma.
As a virtual, outpatient organization, we know that we cannot prevent all triggering content and that doing so would actually hinder the ability to cope with “real life” scenarios. If you do find yourself feeling triggered by a post, we encourage you to discuss it in session with your individual provider and/or comment your thoughts in a respectful manner while acknowledging everyone is at a different place. You can also direct message our Community Director, Tamanna Shah, with any questions or concerns.
Weekly Webinars
Join us every Friday for “Doc Talk,” led by our VERY own psychiatrist, Dr. Erin Knopf, and psychologist, Dr. Corinne Hannan. These live webinars explore everything from eating disorders to diet culture to mental health. We often invite guest speakers, as well, to provide expert knowledge and speak on relevant topics.
Missed a webinar? Don’t worry! They are all recorded and available to watch on your time in the Community.
Have a topic you’d like us to cover? Direct message RecoVERY Community Manager, Tamanna Shah, or email info@very.health.
