Our Mission

Ophelia’s Place is dedicated to providing support, community and trauma-informed resources for Every Body impacted by eating disorders, diet culture and body oppression.

 

We're filling the gaps in eating disorder services by:

  • Offering free individualized phone and email support for individuals and caregivers of those struggling

  • Facilitating free weekly support groups for anyone actively working to heal and resource themselves through their eating disorder

  • Creating digital resources that offer accessible and tangible tools for eating disorder recovery

  • Connecting individuals and families to care and treatment services (clinical and community-based)

  • Educating the community to transform the systems that perpetuate eating disorders and weight-based oppression

 

Can we let you in on a little something?

 
 

You are a wise, resilient and powerful being. Your eating disorder has been your super power.

It kept you feeling powerful, strong and safe through all the ups, downs and twisting turns of life. Until it didn’t.
Eating disorders, at their core, are a form of coping –a survival skill– helping you navigate the pain and messiness of life, serving as a way for your nervous system to settle in times of stress and discomfort.

We need you to know that you got here honestly– you’ve been doing the absolute best you can with the hand you’ve been dealt.
And, it can get better.

By honoring the ways in which your eating disorder has served you, and slowly resourcing yourself with more sustainable and supportive coping strategies, healing is possible.

Don’t go it alone– join a support group.

We offer multiple free professionally-led support groups weekly, and have a growing list of community-led groups for you to try as well.

Call or email our team for 1-on-1 support.

Wherever you’re at in your eating disorder, we’re here to help. Connect with our team to explore care options.

Real recovery resources, at your fingertips.

We’re creating worksheets and skill-building exercises, meant to serve as accessible tools to support your healing work. Sign up for free to put these tools to work today.
