Craving Change ®

Craving Change® is a workshop that helps individuals recognize why they eat and understand themselves better. Craving Change can help teach individuals about mindful eating.

The Craving Change workshop is based on the cognitive-behavioural model. It’s an approach to understanding well-being and behaviour. The model looks at how ‘internal’ events such as thoughts and feelings, affect behaviour. All three of these core elements strongly impact one another. 

Interventions based on this model have been demonstrated as effective across a wide range of psychological difficulties including eating disorders, depression, and anxiety.

This model has also been well supported by research for interventions that are relatively short-term, and interventions that are offered in either individual or group settings.

It’s recommended to have 8-15 participants as an ideal size for a Craving Change workshop. The material takes approximately 8 hours to facilitate. It’s broken down into 3, 4, or 6 sessions to meet your organization’s needs/booking limits.

The workshop uses a variety of techniques, including guided, interactive discussions, brainstorming activities, brief written exercises, and homework tasks. It’s a relaxed atmosphere with no “lecture” component. Materials spanning the entire workshop are on PowerPoint slides. The slides provide very brief information and are used sparingly, with the focus instead being on thought-provoking, relaxed group discussion.

Participants receive either their own copy of the client workbook or stand-alone worksheets depending on the workshop series.

We love being able to connect people with their bodies and increasing their awareness of why they choose to eat. It’s the first step in choosing different behaviours if they want to make changes in their lifestyles and nutrition habits.
