Over twenty years ago, a small group of people who had recovered from an eating disorder asked that question. We listened to people who were living with an eating disorder, those who had recovered, family and friends, health care providers, researchers, and others.
We overwhelmingly heard that connecting with people who really understand eating disorder recovery—because they’ve worked through an eating disorder themselves—was incredibly powerful.
From that insight, Eating Disorders Nova Scotia was launched.
We believe no-one should have to face an eating disorder alone—and that we heal better together.
Today, our virtual peer support groups, educational workshops and one-on-one mentoring programs reach people across Canada. From our welcoming space in North End Halifax, we offer in-person programs like restorative yoga, art therapy, and a supper club. All without the need for a diagnosis or referral.
We are here for the entire journey, providing that connection that makes hope and recovery feel possible.
Each year more than 2,500 people are supported by Eating Disorders Nova Scotia. This wouldn’t be possible without the generosity and support of our donors.
