As part of my Field Practicum class, one of the ways I am volunteering in the psychology field is by attending FED meetings. FED stands for Families of Eating Disorders. It's a support group for people who want support for dealing with family/friends/etc who have an eating disorder.
My therapist runs the meetings; I'm there as a person in recovery. I'm there to answer questions people may have. I'm able to speak from a healthy perspective about what their loved ones are going through.
I may not have the best eating habits (totally failing at eating healthy foods), but I can still offer guidance and advice to people. I don't have to be perfect in order to be of help to others.
