The BFRB Moms Support Group is a peer-led support group for mothers who have BFRBs to find support and community with other moms with BFRBs that have children. Juggling parenthood with your BFRB can be a challenge. Finding the balance of taking care of family and yourself is hard, and we are here to give support and guidance as you work through your BFRB journey. At our meetings, we will conduct individualized check-ins, provide support, resources, and discuss different ways to decompress and incorporate self-care into our daily lives.
We meet on Zoom on the third Sunday of every month from:
7:30 - 9:00 PM ET
6:30 - 8:00 PM CT
5:30 - 7:00 PM MT
4:30 - 6:00 PM PT
All of our support group meetings are held online via Zoom and we ask all members to read our Code of Conduct before attending.
