Nurturing Recovery Through Support and Movement

We understand that the path to recovery from an eating disorder is as unique as the individuals walking it. Our work extends beyond raising awareness; we are dedicated to fostering healing through innovative, supportive community programs. Our approach integrates the latest psychological research with strategic, compassionate support, embodying our belief that recovery thrives in environments that nurture both the mind and body. Our core mission is to demystify the complexities of eating disorders by providing accessible, evidence-based information and support. Eating disorders, from Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia Nervosa to Binge Eating Disorder and beyond, present multifaceted challenges that affect individuals physically, psychologically, and socially. At CEDAA, we recognize that recovery is not just a clinical journey but a deeply personal one that requires a holistic approach.

Rotational Support and Exercise Programs: A Holistic Approach
Our commitment to holistic recovery is embodied in our unique rotational support group and trauma-sensitive exercise programs. Designed with the insights from our comprehensive policies and the heart of our mission statement, these programs are tailored to meet you where you are in your journey toward healing.

‍Trauma-Sensitive Exercise Programs:
Recognizing the profound impact of physical wellness on mental health, CEDAA offers a variety of trauma-sensitive exercise sessions. From gentle yoga and mindful stretching to low-impact aerobics, our programs are led by qualified instructors attuned to the needs of those with trauma histories. These sessions are crafted to empower, promote resilience, and offer a supportive environment where physical activity becomes a tool for healing.

‍Rotational Support Groups:
Parallel to our exercise offerings, our support groups provide a safe space for sharing, growth, and connection. Adhering to strict confidentiality and respect, these groups operate under a no-diet philosophy to ensure discussions remain trigger-free and recovery-focused. Facilitated by passionate individuals, our groups encourage recovery, health, and a balanced lifestyle, recognizing the importance of community in the healing process.

Community and Collaboration at the Heart
CEDAA's programs are deeply community-oriented, shaped by the needs and inputs of those we serve. We embrace all individuals, irrespective of race, religion, disability, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, and body shape or size. Our programs are designed to be inclusive, accessible, and respectful, ensuring everyone finds their place and their pace within our community. In addition, we actively seek collaboration with external organizations, bodies, and associations to enrich our offerings. These collaborations allow us to combine resources and expertise, enhancing the depth and reach of our programs. Whether it's a special session in collaboration with a Canadian-based charity or an innovative workshop with a student group, our aim is to foster a trauma-sensitive environment that supports lifelong recovery.
