Recovery Forum

Our Recovery Forum is an online community for people recovering from an eating disorder, their friends and carers, and for those who are concerned that they may have an eating disorder and want some support. We offer both a chatroom, and a messageboard.

Recovery Chatroom

The Eating Disorders Victoria Recovery Chatroom provides an opportunity for people living with an eating disorder (16 years & over) to communicate with others and give and receive the mutual understanding and support that is vital to promote a full recovery.

The Recovery Chatroom is moderated by trained volunteers who ensure it remains a safe and supportive environment. There are several guidelines which moderators will enforce to ensure all content is positive and recovery-focused, and to ensure potentially triggering information and comments do not appear.

The Recovery Chatroom is intended purely as a means of support and communication, and does not provide any form of counselling; it is not intended to substitute for professional/medical advice.

The Chatroom is open on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday evenings from 7pm til 9pm AEST.

Recovery Messageboard

The Eating Disorders Victoria Recovery Messageboard is a channel for people with an eating disorder (16 years & over) to ask questions to other members of the public by submitting a post on an existing or a new topic, and to read answers given by others.

The Recovery Messageboard is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There are Online Guidelines & Terms & Conditions of Use for posts to the Messageboard, to ensure the safety and well-being of all users. All new Messageboard posts must be viewed and approved by an EDV voluntary Moderator before being made visible on the Messageboard, to ensure that the guidelines have been followed. Please note that this means that, while we endeavour to make all messages visible as quickly as possible, it may take a few days before your message appears.
