Find a Canadian Support Group
Living with a BFRB can be lonely, confusing and frustrating. So many of us have been “stuck in the closet” or constantly hiding these disorders from our own family and friends. We have felt judged, lonely, scared, and confused all the while being misunderstood by doctors, family, and friends. Having a support group to attend can be an outlet for anyone who has questions, needs support, wants to learn different ways on how to cope, and just meet other people who have BFRBs.
Please feel free to sign up for our monthly BFRB Support Groups newsletter for support opportunities and details.
