We believe that no one should have to face an eating disorder alone. We are here to help. www.eatingdisordersns.ca

Eating Disorders Nova Scotia is dedicated to supporting those impacted by eating disorders. We work to raise awareness and understanding around eating disorders, and to support those impacted. We provide peer support groups, one-on-one mentoring and family peer support groups.

It was a pleasure to welcome Deputy Minister of the Office of Addictions and Mental Health Jennifer Glennie and Associate Deputy Minister Kimberly Stewart for a tour of our space and a conversation about eating disorder support in Nova Scotia.

We discussed the growing need, the evidence behind our approach, and the impact of community-based supports.

We’re grateful for the opportunity to share what we’re seeing on the ground and contribute to conversations about strengthening eating disorder support in our home province.

Thank you to Deputy Minister Glennie and ADM Stewart for spending time with our team and engaging so thoughtfully with this important work.

You can help create the kind of support you once needed.

Our next Peer Mentor Training Program begins this October, and we’re now accepting applications!

Peer Mentors use their own lived experience to offer connection, understanding, and hope to others who may be navigating challenges with food, body image, or eating disorders.

Our 30-hour training program includes on-demand learning and virtual sessions, with ongoing support and opportunities to connect with the Peer Mentor community.

📅 Application deadline: October 12, 2026

Interested in becoming a Peer Mentor? Learn more about the program and complete the application form through the link in our bio.

We’re looking for people 18+ across Canada with lived experience of an eating disorder or disordered eating who are interested in supporting others in recovery.

We’re especially interested in hearing from folks over 30, people who identify as men, members of BIPOC communities, and people with lived experience of binge-eating disorder or ARFID. We want our Peer Mentors to reflect the diverse communities we serve.
