    We want to hear from Ontario’s publicly funded eating disorder programs! Join us on November 13th to explore how Body Brave’s services can help bridge gaps in the current continuum of care, particularly for individuals awaiting treatment and those working to maintain recovery post-discharge. Program managers and directors from Ontario's treatment programs are invited to attend this symposium. Input from treatment programs is crucial to understanding the challenges faced by treatment programs, allowing Body Brave to better align its efforts to support the continuum of care.

    Eating disorders affect over 1.7 million Canadians, but too often, access to recovery is limited by barriers. At Body Brave, we believe that recovery should be accessible to everyone, no matter their background, body shape, diagnosis (or lack thereof), or financial situation. This year, we aim to raise $35,000 to help keep our treatment and support programs accessible to every body. Your generosity can make recovery a reality for so many. Together, let’s break down the barriers and build a world where recovery is for every body. 💜 ✨ Learn more about how you can give back: www.bodybrave.ca/give

    Want to escape winter this February and head to a tropical mountain retreat in Costa Rica? Want to stretch your mind and body with yoga and creative writing each morning? Want to enjoy the company of a great group of women and spend time swimming in an infinity pool, hiking the rainforest, birdwatching and more? Want to enjoy a week of sumptuous handcrafted meals and special desserts prepared by our personal chefs? Want to give yourself time to reflect and connect - with yourself and others? Then consider joining Lee Horton-Carter and myself for an 8-day memoir and yoga retreat Jan. 30-Feb.7, 2025. We've taken care of every detail so you don't have to. Rooms range from twin beds in cabins to private king and queen beds in the main lodge with prices ranging from $2,950-$3,950, (all expenses included except airfare). No yoga or writing experience required. Life is short. Experiences like this are priceless. Is Costa Rica calling you? https://lnkd.in/g7Jupr27
