Volunteer Profile

Role: Eating Disorder Support Group Facilitator

I lead online support group meetings for the charity. People with eating disorders come to these groups to give and receive peer support, discuss recovery and setbacks, and reduce feelings of isolation. I ensure that group members are aware of and adhere to the meeting rules, such as refraining from mentioning things which could trigger other members. I lead discussions and ensure that every has a chance to speak. When safeguarding concerns arise, I make myself available to the group member to discuss this confidentially, and also report to the safeguarding officer. I evaluate every meeting and submit this to the volunteer coordinator, and attend regular training for volunteers.
