Non-therapeutic Groups
Community Table Recovery through Connected Eating - FY 2018/19 The Community Table: Recovery through Connected Eating (CT) aims to support people who are recovering from eating issues. As previously identified by EDQ clients, there was a gap in relation to community-based meal support programs. CT was developed to bridge that gap by providing a structured and supported group program to allow individuals to work towards nutritional goals, engage in social eating and develop skills to manage meal related anxiety and distress. Sensory and mindfulness-based activities provided clients with an opportunity to develop new strategies to manage meal related anxiety and distress. Craft-based activities, gardening and connection building activities were also utilised to help manage meal related anxiety and distress in the moment. David Langford, Eating Issues Practitioner, co-facilitated all five rounds along with a staff member from the Queensland Eating Disorder Service Day Program. Peer Worker, Lisa Kelly, also helped to facilitate one round.
