Springing Toward Recovery: Navigating the Spring Holidays
Springing Toward Recovery: Navigating the Spring Holidays
Wednesday, March 6, 2024 • 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm (ET)
Free | Interactive Webinar
12:00 pm - 1:00 pm (ET)
Presented by: Sarah Bateman, LCSW - Liaison to the Jewish Community, The Renfrew Center
Held Online
Spring brings with it hope and blossoms, along with holy seasons of three different religions! Easter, Passover, and Ramadan can be opportunities to celebrate with others, build new memories, and deepen spiritual beliefs. But they can also be a triggering time for individuals struggling with eating disorders, as they might include more restrictive food rules, fasting practices, or be highly centered around preparing food and eating it in front of others.
This webinar will discuss these three religious festivals, and how to navigate them, including when deviating from “normal” customs to support and sustain recovery. These holidays may offer participants a time for reflection, building emotional tolerance skills, and perhaps using faith as a motivation for recovery.
