Virtual Region of Overeaters Anonymous
The Virtual Region of Overeaters Anonymous is a service body within Overeaters Anonymous (OA), a nonprofit organization focused on supporting individuals recovering from compulsive eating through shared experiences and the Twelve Steps program. The Virtual Region specifically supports various forms of virtual meetings, including telephone, online, and non-real-time meetings, as well as virtual intergroups.
Purpose and Structure
The primary purpose of the Virtual Region is to carry the message of recovery to compulsive overeaters who still suffer and to provide ongoing support to those in recovery. This is achieved by supporting a wide variety of electronic meetings and training for members. The region is composed of representatives from virtual intergroups and works closely with the broader Overeaters Anonymous service structure, including other regions and the World Service.
Activities and Events
The Virtual Region hosts and participates in several events and activities designed to promote recovery and support. These include conventions, assemblies, and training sessions that help maintain the integrity and effectiveness of virtual meetings. The region also collaborates with other service bodies within OA to ensure that the needs of members are addressed across different platforms.
Financial Support
Like other OA service bodies, the Virtual Region is self-supporting through contributions from member groups and individuals. These contributions are essential for sustaining the region's activities and providing support to recovering members.
Role in OA
The Virtual Region plays a crucial role in expanding the reach of Overeaters Anonymous by facilitating participation for individuals who may not have access to in-person meetings due to geographical or other constraints. By supporting virtual meetings and intergroups, it helps ensure that the OA program is accessible to anyone with a desire to stop eating compulsively.
