Safely Connected, The Eating Disorder Centre is a Canadian not-for-profit organization that provides support and education to youth and providers on the topic of eating disorders, body image issues, and disordered eating and exercise. We are an anti-ableist, anti-racist and anti-colonialist, fat- and body-positive, queer- and trans-positive, and pro-feminist organization. Our organization delivers training and resources to youth on post-secondary campuses to provide students with tools to understand and change the normalized behaviours that lead to and aggravate disordered eating and disordered exercising and create peer support spaces. We also delivers a variety of trainings to providers and care-givers on eating disorders, trauma-informed care, active listening, harm reduction, barriers to access, and the underrepresented experiences of marginalized communities in eating disorder care, and their necessary needs and accommodations. Our goal is to break down the barriers to conversation and validation of anyone's experiences to minimize the isolation of individuals who suffer from disordered eating on post-secondary campuses.
