Hopewell Eating Disorder Support Centre

Together we can break the stigma of eating disorders

Hopewell Eating Disorder Support Centre provides support groups and art therapy programs to those in the National Capital Region and the extended Eastern Ontario Region. We offer seasonal programming intended to compliment formal treatment to those affected by eating disorders and disordered eating. We engage in preemptive practices by helping people understand eating disorders and the importance of healthy attitudes toward body image, eating, and physical activity. We aim to create inclusive spaces for those of all religions, gender, bodies, and ethnicities to have access to our services. Our programs are open to anyone 17+.
