Creativity can create space for connection, self-expression, and recovery. 🎨💙

In our Expressive Arts groups, participants are invited to explore different forms of art in a supportive environment, with no pressure to create something “perfect.”

Gabe and Caitlin share a look inside the group, where creativity becomes a way to connect with others, explore experiences around eating and body image, and step outside the boundaries of perfectionism.

Learn more about our upcoming groups at sheenasplace.org.

What we see online isn’t always what it seems. 💙

From AI-generated images to filters and photo editing, digital content can create unrealistic beauty standards and influence how we feel about our bodies.

Taking a moment to question what we see, think critically about appearance-focused content, and curate a more supportive social media feed can help us build a healthier relationship with our bodies.

Remember, you don’t have to measure yourself against what you see on a screen.

🔗 Learn more about the connection between social media, body image, and eating disorders through the article linked in our bio.

#SheenasPlace #BodyImage #EatingDisorderAwareness #DigitalWellbeing #MentalHealthAwareness Sheena’s Place educational graphic titled “AI, Filters & Digital Beauty Standards” featuring a person holding a smartphone against a blue background. The graphic explains how filtered, edited, and AI-generated images can contribute to unrealistic appearance expectations and affect body image. Three tips encourage viewers to question what they see online, think critically about appearance-focused content, and curate a social media feed that supports positive body image and mental well-being. A closing message reads, “What we see online can shape how we see ourselves. Be mindful of what you let into your feed.” by @sheenasplace

30 years of hope, strength, and support. 💙

As we close our 30th anniversary timeline series, we reflect on the incredible community that has made Sheena’s Place what it is today.

From participants and facilitators to volunteers, donors, staff, and community partners, so many people have helped create a place where those affected by eating disorders can find connection, understanding, and support.

Thank you for being part of our story. As we look to the future, our commitment remains the same: to ensure that no one has to face an eating disorder alone.

Here's to the next chapter. 💗

Back-to-school season can bring changes in routine, increased stress, and new social and academic pressures, all of which can have an impact on eating disorder recovery.
Planning ahead, staying connected to supportive people and resources, and continuing to prioritize recovery can help make periods of transition feel more manageable.
If this time of year feels challenging, you don’t have to navigate it alone. 💙
