BANA is happy to share some upcoming support groups from the National Initiative for Eating Disorders - NIED✨

🩵 ED 101 - Workshop Support Sessions
This monthly support group is designed to provide follow up conversations based on the topics presented in our Caregiver Education Series (offered February, April, June, October), as well as other areas of interest for the participants.
The goal is to expand on caregivers’ understanding of the complexities of eating disorders in order to best support their loved ones. This group will be facilitated by Sara Robb, MSW.

🩵 Caring for the Caregiver Support Group
This support group is designed specifically for caregivers to explore the importance (and the challenges) of engaging in self care. We are best able to support our loved ones if we feel supported ourselves. This group will be facilitated by Anita Pudlik, MSW.

🩵 Male Caregiver Support Group
Designed specifically for male caregivers who often face distinct challenges in supporting their loved ones. Our goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can share experiences, gain insights, and find the strength to continue your vital role. These monthly sessions are being facilitated by Dr. Blake Woodside. We will also have additional sessions with guest speakers.

Grief affects every part of who we are — body, mind, and spirit. It can disrupt routines, change the way we see ourselves, and alter how we connect with the world around us — including how we eat.

At Julien’s House, they often witness how deeply loss touches all aspects of life, including physical well-being. Grief isn’t only emotional; it lives in the body, too.

Economic downturns and political unrest don’t just shape markets and headlines — they affect our bodies, sleep, relationships, and increase our risk for anxiety, depression, and even su***de.

Social disruption often occurs during this time, adding strain on mental health and well-being. When we’re exposed to political conflict, there is a link to increased rates of post-traumatic stress, depression, and anxiety.

Eating disorders can affect anyone—but they’re too often misunderstood, oversimplified, or erased in media.

We are so grateful to the team behind The Pitt () for the care, accuracy, and humanity they brought to last week’s episode. By portraying a Black woman with bulimia nervosa, they not only captured the complexity and treatability of these illnesses—but also challenged the harmful stereotypes about “who” develops an eating disorder. That kind of representation can be truly life-saving.

Stories like this matter. They remind us that eating disorders are serious mental health conditions, deserving of empathy, understanding, and proper care—without judgment or assumptions about appearance.
