Community Wellness can help you learn to practice healthy and mindful eating, which means paying attention to what you eat and making healthy choices. We can also help you recognize the warning signs for eating and body-image problems.

Making Peace with Food: This group helps to foster a healthy relationship with food, exercise, and body image. It provides education, support, and practical strategies to manage food and body stress. The group is open to MIT students who are struggling with an unhealthy relationship with food or weight, or who are thinking about food or weight so much that it distracts from their academic and social pursuits.
