The Eating Disorders Program provides outpatient support and access to treatments for youth and adults with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and related eating disorders.
The program liaises with the Eating Disorders Programs at B.C. Children's Hospital, St. Paul’s Hospital, and the Looking Glass Residence should clients require more intensive support.
