What is the Recovery Chatroom?
The Eating Disorders Victoria Recovery Chatroom provides an opportunity for people living with an eating disorder (16 years & over) to communicate with others and give and receive the mutual understanding and support that is vital to promote a full recovery.
The Recovery Chatroom is moderated by trained volunteers who ensure it remains a safe and supportive environment. There are several guidelines (see below for link) which moderators will enforce to ensure all content is positive and recovery-focused, and to ensure potentially triggering information and comments do not appear.
