About this Event
27 May 2026 - 15 July 2026
Monday evenings
Venue to be given by course leaders
7pm - 9pm
An eight-session weekly group face to face course for those who suffer from any eating disorder, and for those who care for them. The course will run each Wednesday evening at the same time for eight weeks.
The tastelife course is non-threatening, educational, and encourages a self-help approach that works. It is run by trained and accredited volunteers who care about those affected by eating disorders. Some have been sufferers themselves, or have supported them. Eating disorders are often a symptom of deeper problems and, while this is not an in-depth course to discover and deal with these underlying issues fully, it goes a long way to equipping participants with real understanding and coping strategies.
The course uses interactive and motivational methods to explain how to make changes in small steps toward health and wholeness. Its unique approach brings carers and sufferers together in an accepting environment where change is made possible. It is an experience that offers sufferers and carers a way forward and puts the steering wheel firmly in the hands of the sufferer.
