Looking Glass Foundation for Eating Disorders

Looking Glass Foundation for Eating Disorders Looking Glass strives to support individuals struggling with eating disorders. We understand the journey and we are here to help.

We offer innovative and accessible programs and services that decrease isolation, instill hope, and sustain recovery. We are also home to the Looking Glass Residence, which is included in British Columbiaโ€™s Continuum of Care for Eating Disorders and supports medically-stable youth (17-18 years old) and young adults (19-24 years old) in their recovery from Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, or EDNOS. Truly residential, residents receive 24/7 care in a fully licensed and homelike environment. This residential treatment centre is an initiative of the not-for-profit Looking Glass Foundation and works closely with health care, community, and post-secondary partners. To find out more about the Looking Glass Residence, please contact us toll free at 1-888-980-5874 or email us at [email protected].

Two days ago was Truth and Reconciliation Day, and our team spent it the way we think this day deserves: slowing down, reflecting, and showing up for community.

Some attended the ceremony at Grandview Park, where we picked up a piece from an Indigenous artist at the community market, a piece that's now going to have a home with our team as a reminder of why this day matters beyond a single date on the calendar.

For others, the day looked like time outdoors with family, pets, and the people who ground us. Sometimes reflection is a walk in the forest with your dog. Sometimes it's your kids in orange shirts, carrying a lesson forward that's bigger than they are yet.

However it showed up for you, we hope this day held space for honesty, remembrance, and connection. For the children who never came home, for survivors, and for the work of reconciliation that doesn't end when the day does.

We don't have to carry grief or growth alone. That's true of this, and it's true of recovery too.

Whatever you're carrying, it doesn't change how we see you ๐Ÿค

If you need somewhere to bring it, our online peer support chats are free and open to anyone impacted by an eating disorder. You'll be connected with trained volunteers with lived experience who show up to listen, not judge. Come as you are, whenever you need it.

You don't have to do this alone. ๐Ÿค

We're stopping at every one of these ๐Ÿšฆ

So many comments about bodies and food get a pass because they're dressed up as compliments or concern. None of it is as harmless as it sounds ๐Ÿ›‘

Comments like these can quietly reinforce the idea that bodies are up for discussion and worth is tied to size. For someone in recovery or struggling, they can land a lot harder than intended.

You don't need a perfect script to do better. Just pause before the comment about someone's body or plate leaves your mouth. That pause is the green light we actually need ๐ŸŸข

What would you add to this list? ๐Ÿ‘‡

Recovery is about more than substance use โ€” itโ€™s about reconnecting with yourself and caring for all parts of your wellbeing.

TWC Northstar recently partnered with the Looking Glass Foundation for Eating Disorders to pilot their new โ€œRecovery and Your Bodyโ€ workshop series with the women in our care.

A big thank you to Claire, a clinical counsellor with LGF, who developed leading-edge material specifically tailored to women in early recovery and led our first in-person workshop on Friday.

Weโ€™re grateful for LGFโ€™s support and commitment to addressing the important intersection of substance use, disordered eating, and body image.

Weโ€™re looking forward to building on this first workshop and continuing to create space for women to heal and grow in all areas of life.

What a day! Our very first Path of Reflection raised an incredible $13,050 (!!) for eating disorder recovery support in BC. ๐Ÿ’›

This past Saturday, families, friends, children, and four-legged companions joined us for a beautiful morning at Capilano River Regional Park. From games and bubbles at the starting line to walking 2โ€“3 km through nature, taking in the views, and pausing to reflect along the way, it was a wonderful morning spent together.

A very special thank you to our Presenting Sponsor, Conconi Growth Partners, for helping bring Path of Reflection to life and standing behind our mission. And thank you to the small local businesses, whose support ensured that the funds raised would directly benefit those who need it most.

Most importantly, thank you to everyone who joined us, fundraised, and donated, helping make our first Path of Reflection such a success.

Every dollar raised means more individuals can access our free and accessible programming.

Recovery is possible, and it takes a community. Thank you for being part of ours. ๐ŸŒฟ

Sometimes the most meaningful support doesn't look like grand gestures... it looks like showing up, listening, and choosing connection over comparison. ๐Ÿค

If someone you love is navigating an eating disorder, you don't have to have all the answers. You just have to keep showing up for them, without judgment.

We have more resources on how to support a loved one on our website ๐Ÿ”— link in bio.

Your body is your vessel, the thing that carries you to the lake, the breakfast table, the porch with your favourite person, not something to spend your energy judging ๐Ÿค

If that judgment has been taking up space where living should be, our Bridge the Gap counselling program offers low-cost, ED-specialized support to help you get there ๐Ÿ’› Wherever you're at, you don't have to do this alone.
