The primary objective of this project is to adapt two existing mental health and substance use interventions and RCT for online delivery to address unhealthy eating behaviours and a negative relationship with food for women within the context of COVID-19. The second objective is to test if an online group body-oriented intervention (trauma-sensitive yoga) that has been designed to increase awareness of physical sensations, is superior to an online group verbal narrative intervention (mental wellness talking circle), and to control group. The investigators theorize that the body-oriented intervention may offer the opportunity to reprogram automatic physiologic hyperarousal in response to COVID-19 triggers and increase positive body awareness, and mindful attention to the ways in which habitual self-protective behaviours, like unhealthy eating behaviours, may be impacting health. The third objective is to examine the impacts of the interventions on adults with pre-existing mental health and disordered eating issues, and those with previous experiences that may make them more susceptible to these problems during COVID-19. The investigators will track other supports they engage in during the study and the perceived impacts of these supports on their outcomes with the goal of shedding light on how to best match COVID-19 related services to adults who need them the most.
