DIRECTORY OF RESOURCES AND SERVICES FOR THE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF EATING DISORDERS

INTRODUCTION

The Body Image Coalition of Peel has been in existence since February 1993 and became incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation in April 2001.

The work we do reflects our commitment to raising community awareness of body image issues and increasing knowledge of prevention strategies and treatment options for eating disorders.

Our membership includes mental health professionals, public health nurses, dietitians, fitness and sports professionals, educators, recovered individuals and others.

ABOUT THE DIRECTORY

This directory is compiled and produced by members of the Body Image Coalition of Peel. Its purpose is to provide a comprehensive list of resources and services available to residents of the Region of Peel.

Directory listings were surveyed by Coalition members and reflect a variety of treatment approaches. Programs promoting weight loss through dieting were excluded.

The directory is meant to be used as a reference list only and is not meant as an endorsement of any particular resource or service.

Medical consultation in conjunction with therapy and counselling is advisable.

The Coalition reserves the right to make additions to and deletions from directory listings.
