Understanding Supported Meals
Supported Meals involve supervised and structured meal times led by trained professionals within a safe and supportive setting. These sessions offer individuals struggling with eating disorders a space to work on normalizing eating behaviors, challenging food-related anxieties, and fostering a healthier relationship with food.
Supported Meals are conducted under the guidance of a multidisciplinary team that may include therapists, registered dietitians, and other professionals. The focus is on creating a comfortable and non-judgmental atmosphere to help individuals navigate meal challenges and develop positive coping strategies.

At Core Recovery, we prioritize a comprehensive approach to treating eating disorders, integrating Supported Meals into our specialized IOP and PHP programs. These programs offer structured meal support sessions as part of the treatment plan to address mealtime anxiety, disordered eating behaviors, and to promote normalized eating patterns.
During Supported Meals, our experienced team of professionals provides guidance, support, and encouragement to individuals, helping them navigate meal challenges and develop more adaptive eating habits.
