How to access

Check eligibility
The NSYEDP services clients between 12 to 19 years of age with Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa or Other Specified/ Unspecified Eating Disorder (formerly Eating Disorder Not Otherwise Specified).
The client will have:
- An intense preoccupation and concerns with body shape and size, and
- Significant low weight or weight loss due to voluntary restricting of food intake. or
- Binge eating is accompanied by feeling out of control (i.e. can’t stop binge or control how much is eaten) and purging behaviour (i.e. vomiting, laxatives, post-binge fasting, excessive exercise).
Our paediatrician will assess youths under 17 years of age. Youth aged 18-19 may be assessed by Foundry medical staff, if necessary. All youths in our program require regular medical follow-ups by their primary care provider.
