How to access

  • Check eligibility

    The NSYEDP services clients between 12 to 19 years of age with Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa or Other Specified/ Unspecified Eating Disorder (formerly Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified).

    The client will have:

    • An intense preoccupation and concerns with body shape and size, and
    • Significant low weight or weight loss due to voluntary restricting of food intake. or
    • Binge eating is accompanied by feeling out of control (i.e. can’t stop binge or control how much is eaten) and purging behaviour (i.e. vomiting, laxatives, post-binge fasting, excessive exercise).

    Our paediatrician will assess youths under 17 years of age. Youth aged 18-19 may be assessed by Foundry medical staff, if necessary. All youths in our program require regular medical follow-ups by their primary care provider.
