Today is World Mental Health Day 🧠

If you are struggling with an eating disorder right now, please know that your worth is not measured by a number, a meal, or a shape. You are so much more than your hardest days, and you do not have to carry this alone.

The Windsor Essex Intensive Outpatient Program (WEIOP) team was thrilled to be hosted by Amica Riverside this morning for our program evaluation and strategic development session.

Taking time away from day-to-day operations allowed our team to discuss, brainstorm, and establish concrete action goals to continually enhance our services. Holding this planning session in such a welcoming environment made for a productive and inspiring morning.

A sincere thank you to the team at Amica for the warm hospitality, delicious food, and ongoing support of vital community programs in Windsor-Essex.

About the Windsor-Essex Intensive Outpatient Program (WEIOP)

The WEIOP provides specialized, community-based eating disorder care for individuals who need more support than traditional outpatient services, but do not require hospitalization.

Through a collaborative partnership between Windsor Regional Hospital, Bulimia Anorexia Nervosa Association and Windsor Essex Community Health Centre the WEIOP offers coordinated treatment, medical monitoring, meal support and education to help individuals work toward recovery while remaining connected to their everyday lives.

Last evening, BANA Executive Director - Luciana Rosu-Sieza, had the honour of attending the inaugural Windsor Police Chief’s Gala — an annual fundraising event supporting programs and organizations making a positive impact across the Windsor-Essex community.

It was a wonderful evening celebrating the achievements of Windsor Police members and community partners through a series of awards, while raising funds to support two important local programs.

Congratulations to all of this year’s award recipients! We were especially pleased to celebrate the achievements of our healthcare partners:

🏆 Award of Excellence – Support Services: Nicole Sbrocca, CEO, Canadian Mental Health Association - Windsor

🏆 Award of Excellence – Innovation: Bill Marra, President & CEO, Hotel Dieu Grace Healthcare , and Kristin Kennedy President & CEO and David Musyj, former President & CEO, Windsor Regional Hospital

These awards recognize the dedication, innovation and leadership of individuals who continue to make a meaningful difference in our community.

And congratulations to Windsor Police Service on a fantastic inaugural gala! Thank you for bringing community partners together for an evening of celebration, recognition and giving back to the community we all proudly serve. We look forward to seeing this wonderful event continue to grow in the years ahead.

Our latest episode of Be Yourself: Happy, Healthy, Hopeful is officially live! 🎧

Adriana was thrilled to sit down with Rose Anguiano-Hurst and Jasmine Captan from Women's Enterprise Skills Training of Windsor Inc. (WEST) to discuss the powerful connection between economic empowerment, community support, and mental health.

In this conversation, we dive into how skill-building, accessible childcare, and identity-affirming settlement supports do so much more than help women enter the workforce, they restore self-worth, build lasting confidence, and create a positive ripple effect for entire families across Windsor-Essex.

Whether you’re commuting or taking a moment for yourself today, tune in for an inspiring discussion on what it truly means to foster community wellness and equity!

Today, BANA joined with our community at Jackson Park and others across Southwestern Ontario to honour the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Taking time to remember, to listen, to learn, and to reflect is an important part of recognizing the history and ongoing impact of residential schools and the experiences of Indigenous peoples.

But reconciliation cannot be limited to one day.

It is something we must carry with us every day — through continued learning, listening to Indigenous voices, acknowledging the truths of our shared history, and taking meaningful steps toward a more respectful and inclusive future.

Today, we remember. Today, we reflect. And every day, we continue the work.

🧡 Every Child Matters.
