In Canada, there are a number of organizations and online support groups to help individuals, caregivers and primary care providers access relevant, high-quality information regarding Eating Disorders (and, in the case of B.C.**, allow primary care providers to rapidly consult with Eating Disorder specialists):

 A full list of community-based and other resources may be consulted at NEDIC.

NIED does not offer clinical care, clinical services or medical advice.  If you require medical care, please contact your primary care provider.  If you are in crisis, please call Crisis Services Canada at 1-833-456-4566 or 1-866-APPELLE (1-866-277-3553) if you live in Québec.

If you are experiencing a medical emergency and require immediate attention, please call 9-1-1.

NIED does not offer medical advice.  Depending on the province or territory where you live, only certain professionals or primary care providers can assess symptoms or diagnose diseases or disorders; order tests or prescribe certain activities, procedures or medicines.

NIED has taken great care to produce educational and informational resources that can help people improve communication between members of a care team, improve collaboration between care team members and improve transitions between levels of care and between different care settings.

NIED has created these educational and informational resources as an adjunct to clinical information that a primary care provider may give their client, patient or their caregiver.

Finally, consistent with clinical practice guidelines related to Eating Disorders, NIED believes that the trust relationship between a person, their care provider and caregiver are essential to recovery from an Eating Disorder.  By providing you with the educational and informational resources on our website, NIED does not intend to replace the therapeutic alliance and relationship between visitors to our site and their caregivers, providers, patients or clients.
