Our compassionate peer support options are here to help individuals on their healing journey.

Age representation:

The virtual nature of our programs enable individuals from all health authorities across the province to have access to immediate support.

Health authority representation:

Navigating support and treatment options can be challenging and costly.

67% of our program participants report that they are not receiving any other form of eating disorder support, with 81% identifying that they have experienced some sort of barrier when accessing care. The most prevalent reported are:

Lack of Eating Disorder Specialists and Programs

Long Waitlists

Too Costly

To address these gaps, we developed Looking Glass Counselling | Bridge the Gap™: a program that provides unique and critical eating disorder support where none is available, while enabling meaningful practicum experience for counselling students.
