Resources For Recovery
Recovery looks different
for everyone
Eating disorders can affect anyone, and every recovery journey is unique. We all need different kinds of support at different times. While the recovery process can feel like an uphill climb, it also can be a a time of significant personal growth, and you don’t have to do it alone.
MAPPING YOUR PATH
What to Consider When You Start
Make a Plan
Building a recovery plan helps you identify long-term goals and outline a path toward where you want to be. It’s not a rigid set of rules, it’s a living guide that can be adjusted as your recovery evolves. We can support you in mapping a path by blending your needs and insight with our clinical guidance. Map your path with us.
Don’t Go Alone
Eating disorders thrive in isolation. We want to help you build a strong, supportive network where you feel seen and connected. Whether you’re just starting out or deep into recovery, we offer opportunities to connect with others, reduce loneliness, and foster belonging. Explore Groups & Workshops.
Learn from Others
Connecting with people who have successfully recovered from an eating disorder can be validating and motivation. Peer support can strengthen your recovery, without feeling like another appointment. It’s flexible support, right when you need it most.
Find Professional Help that Fits
Recovery can involve multiple kinds of professional support, and figuring out what you need often feels confusing. We can help you assess your specific needs and find the right resources. Learn how therapists, dietitians, doctors, and support workers each contribute to healing, and how to identify the best fit for you. We can figure it out together.
Explore Expert Insights
Accessing specialist care is often out of reach, which is why we created our Video Resource Library in collaboration with eating-disorder focused clinicians from our network. These expert-led videos offer honest, in-depth guidance on key parts of the recovery process; from physiological insights to treatment options to navigating relapse.
Know where to go when you are lost.
The path to recovery isn’t linear, and it can feel frustrating or unclear at times. Those are the moments when reaching out matters most. Whether it’s your first time seeking support or your hundredth, we’re here for you. You’re not alone on this path and we can help.

What if I experience a slip in the middle of recovery?
It’s important to remember that while relapse can happen, not every slip is a relapse. Slips can feel discouraging, especially when you’ve been working hard, but recovery isn’t measured only by behaviour change. It’s about gradually shifting how you think, cope and move through the world, and that takes time. Progress isn’t perfect; it’s about showing up for yourself consistently.
Eating disorders often involve “black-and-white” thinking, which can make slips feel bigger than they are. If a loved one relapses, know that it’s a common part of recovery. And if you’ve relapsed yourself, it’s not permanent, you can always begin again. We’re here to support you at every stage. Don’t give up.
The path to recovery isn’t linear, and it’s not a race. Wherever you are on your path, we can help.
