Join us to connect with other adults with ARFID or suspected ARFID to learn and heal together as a community. Lauren facilitates this group as a registered dietician who is passionate about helping and supporting those with ARFID and eating differences. Whether you are looking for a space to connect with individuals you can relate to, looking for community support alongside your treatment team or seeking an alternative way to heal, this group is for you! Open to adults 18+ all over the world!
The ARFID Community Membership includes:
Sessions are held once weekly on alternating Tuesdays at 7pm ET and Wednesdays at 8pm. This is a great option for individuals who are interested in more consistent support and resources. The ARFID Community Membership costs $99/month for new members. Equity spots are available. Email lauren@laurensharifi.com for more information.
Drop In spots are available for:
As a drop in member, you are allowed to attend more than one group a month, but you have to sign up for each meeting separately. This is a great option for anyone who has never attended a group before and would like to see how they like it before committing to a full membership. Drop In groups are $35/group, but if you decide to join the community after dropping in to a group, your drop in rate goes towards that month’s membership fee.
“I now have a network of friends and connections who understand one of the most complicated and stressful aspects of my life. Whenever I feel like no one could possibly understand how I feel, I have a group of people there to validate me and tell me I’m not alone.”
“I have gained a support group of new friends who understand information about ARFID and ways to treat it/accommodate.”
“This is the best thing I’ve done for my ARFID! There are no other groups like it that are solely ARFID focused with facilitators that actually understand what ARFID is.”
Groups are facilitated to meet you where you are at. Participation is welcome but not mandatory nor forced. You are welcome to join with your camera off and just listen if that is more comfortable for you. We hope the more you come, the safer and more comfortable you will feel to participate in a way that is affirming for you!
Yes! If you are unable or do not want to attend groups, you do not have to.

No! Self-diagnosis or suspected ARFID is valid. The only thing we request is that all members are 18+.
No! You are welcome to attend no matter what country or state you live in.
You are welcome to drop into a group if you are interested in seeing if the space is right for you. You can sign up here https://l.bttr.to/XmsHl. If you decide to join the group after attending as a drop in your $35 goes toward that month’s membership fee. If you sign up and decide the membership is not the right fit we ask that you give 2 weeks notice before your next billing period. We are unable to provide any refunds.
