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.

Recovery from an eating disorder doesn't have an age limit.

Join Eating Disorders Nova Scotia on Monday, August 10, for a free virtual workshop, Eating Disorder Recovery in Mid-Life: Betsy Brenner's Story.

Author of The Longest Match, Betsy Brenner, will share her powerful personal journey of recovery in mid-life, reflecting on the challenges, turning points, and hope she found along the way. Together, we'll explore the unique experiences that can arise during this stage of life, including changing bodies, shifting identities, caregiving, aging, and the pressures that often go unspoken.

If you've heard Betsy speak before, you'll know her story is both deeply moving and incredibly hopeful. If you haven't, this is a wonderful opportunity to hear from someone whose message continues to resonate with so many.

📅 Monday, August 10, 2026
🕖 7:00–8:00 p.m. Atlantic

The workshop is open to anyone aged 16+ living in Canada. It's free to attend, with donations appreciated.

From ancient art to modern media and diet culture, body ideals have been shaped over time by culture, power, and systems that still impact us today.

We're excited to partner with BANA for a two-part virtual workshop series exploring the history of Western body ideals and how they’ve evolved from Ancient Greece to today. Together, we'll unpack how understanding this history can support healing and challenge harmful narratives.

🗓 Part 2: July 6 — Roaring 20s to Present Day
⏰ 7 p.m. Atlantic / 6 p.m. Eastern

Note - If you missed the first session, you can still attend Part 2!

The workshops draw on articles by Heather Leblanc, MSW, RSW, published in BANA's Be Yourself Magazine.

Open to anyone 16+ living in Canada. Free to attend.

To the fathers and caregivers supporting someone living with an eating disorder: we see you.

Caring for someone through recovery can be exhausting, emotional, and isolating at times. Our Family & Friends Peer Support group offers connection, understanding, and support from people who get it.

And to those parenting while navigating their own relationship with food, body, or exercise, you deserve support too. Consider looking into our 18+ Peer Support groups or 40+ Peer Support group.

This Father’s Day, we honour the strength it takes to care for yourself and others. 💛
