Community Information Sessions

---

These events educate the public about Food Addiction and the FA program of recovery

Information sessions are designed to educate the general public and professionals about FA. We offer two types of information sessions each with its own format: a session for the community and a session for professionals. These sessions can be organized at the Intergroup or Chapter level, the Local Service Group level, or the meeting level, with PI Representatives coordinating the work. 

Community Information Sessions

Community Information Sessions are designed to educate the general public about FA recovery. They are meant to reach suffering food addicts who might be curious, and people in their lives who might be concerned. 

Often fellowships or meetings reach a point where meetings are robust and stable and have members able to sponsor newcomers. Information Sessions can also provide an opportunity for newcomers and the fellowship to hear from members from outside the area, who can convey the hope of long-term abstinence.
