Our story…
For 25 years, Sheena’s Place has been providing support for people affected by eating disorders (EDs) and disordered eating through the provision of free, low barrier services. Support is available to individuals aged 17+ in Ontario who live with an eating disorder or disordered eating and their caregivers.
It is estimated that 2.7 million people in Canada meet the criteria for a diagnosable eating disorder. Eating disorders also have the second highest mortality rate of all mental illnesses and disproportionately affect marginalized communities. Eating disorders manifest themselves through a myriad of physical conditions, such damage to one’s cardiovascular system, gastrointestinal system, endocrine, and neurological system. Suicide rates among those with eating disorders are alarmingly high. However, despite the prevalence and severity, eating disorders are often misunderstood and are consistently underfunded.
Sheena's Place is working to change that by raising awareness and de-stigmatizing eating disorders in the community, while also providing free group support to individuals affected by eating disorders.
