What we do

We assess and treat children and adolescents for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa or an eating disorder not otherwise specified. We provide this treatment in several settings:

• An outpatient clinic
• A 6-bed day treatment program
• A 14-bed intensive inpatient unit

We additionally provide consultations for the diagnosis and management of eating disorders for children and adolescents throughout the province of BC, either in person or through Telehealth video-conferencing services, depending upon the need.

Any child or adolescent (up to age 18) who, in the opinion of a community care provider, is struggling with an eating disorder may be assessed at the provincial program.

The program encourages consultations and referrals to promote the early identification of an eating disorder since early treatment is consistent with improved outcomes.

Our program does not offer treatment for children or adolescents with pica, rumination disorder, or obesity.
