Did You Know…

  • Approximately, more than 1 million people in Canada meet the diagnostic criteria for an eating disorder.

  • Eating disorders have one of the highest mortality rates of all mental illnesses. Leading causes of death include suicide and cardiovascular failure.

  • Public-funded eating disorder treatment programs are severely limited and fail to meet current demands. According to this CBC article, a hospital from Sudbury, ON reported an substantial increase of the average wait time for their eating disorder treatment program to 417 days in 2023, a triple from 2019.
