We know that life with an Eating Disorder is not much fun. We know that recovery can be difficult. We know that at times, just hanging on in there can be tough.

We support a network of support groups at universities across the country. The groups are run by trained student volunteers and offer a relaxed and supportive atmosphere to talk about life, university and issues relating to eating distress. 

We believe that everyone should have easy access to support. So    groups are open to anyone with experience of eating distress; you don't need a formal diagnosis or a referral.  

We believe that talking to someone can make the world of difference. You don't have to face your eating disorder alone! 

Not sure about coming to a group session? 

Making this first step can be daunting. Why not take a look around this site and give yourself an idea of what to expect from a session. 

What do people think about the group sessions? 

  • “The ED support group was absolutely amazing and I think it's the single biggest contributor to my recovery this year.”
  • “Enough (the Oxford SRSH group) is literally the only reason I've gone through recovery so quickly from being really low, and it's actually worked.” 
  • "I find your groups really useful to help me stay on track to recovery. You're doing a great job and the support is really useful. It's a great service to offer and I've definitely benefited from it."
