We’re Working Together to Transform Eating Disorder Care in Alberta

A COLLABOARTIVE INITIATIVE

SUMMIT GOAL: Bring together eating disorder professionals, researchers, policymakers, and lived-experience voices in Alberta to share knowledge, identify gaps, and build a collaborative community with the aim of: increasing access and improving overall care.

We Need Your Perspective

Alberta is home to deep expertise and unwavering commitment in the field of eating disorders. Yet despite this strength, care remains fragmented. Services can be difficult to access, pathways are often unclear, and many people living with eating disorders, and those supporting them, experience isolation within the system.

Your insights can inform a new way of delivering care.
