Regional Eating Disorder Clinic in Prince George offers virtual supports across the region
Eating disorders affect people of all genders, sexual orientations, ages and socioeconomic class, abilities, races, and ethnic backgrounds.
However, eating disorders are about more than just food and weight. They are also about coping with difficult emotions, oppressive or traumatic circumstances, feelings of self-worth, and control and can affect a person’s social, emotional, mental, and spiritual functioning. “Sometimes it may not feel safe to do so, and that is completely okay. Working on figuring things out together with youth in your life can build trusting relationships – which is protective in itself!”
Everyone in the North, regardless of where they live, can also now access the clinic virtually, via telehealth or video. The clinic supports regional clients with diagnosis, treatment planning, and connections to a full range of services in their home communities.
