A few weeks ago, the WaterStone Foundation for Eating Disorders held its first meeting with our new Clinical Advisory Team, and I couldn't be more grateful for the expertise and leadership they bring. We are honoured to welcome (The Hospital for Sick Children), (North York General Hospital and &Wellness), and # (Founder and Clinical Director of ). Their guidance will be invaluable as we continue expanding the for Eating Disorders on Canadian university campuses, helping more students access eating disorder treatment, support and resources. Eighteen years ago, I met Dr. Debra Katzman and Dr. Melissa Lieberman when my eldest daughter was admitted to SickKids Hospital for her eating disorder. She was 16 at the time. It was one of the most difficult periods our family has ever faced. Eating disorders are complex mental illnesses, and recovery is rarely a straight path—it often takes years of treatment, support, and hope. Today, I am incredibly proud to recognize my daughter, , PsyD, LPC, who is dedicating her career to supporting individuals living with mental health conditions. She combines clinical expertise with the compassion that comes from lived experience, making a difference in the lives of others. I started in 2014 to give back, raise awareness to the servity of the illness, the need for more timely care and help families and individuals with eating disorders access to timely treatment and care. As WaterStone Foundation continues to grow, our focus remains clear: ensuring that more Canadian university students have access to free, specialized on-campus eating disorder treatment, where support can make all the difference. My sincere thanks to our Clinical Advisory Team for joining us on this journey. Together, we are building a future where no student has to face an eating disorder alone.
