Check out our new art group in collaboration with Toronto Art Therapy Institute! This group will explore themes chosen by participants related to eating disorders and body image distress, using artwork to express different parts of the recovery journey. It is also part of a research study exploring the effectiveness of community-based art support groups for addressing eating and body image concerns, led by a Toronto Art Therapy Institute student (Caitlin) as part of her thesis project. The research involves pre and post-group individual interviews. You can find more information about the study using this link: https://lnkd.in/gidERTuS Email Minna Frederick at [email protected] with any questions. We will be hosting an info session on Oct 1st, 2-4 pm, in person at Sheena's Place (87 Spadina Avenue).
