The Calgary Silver Linings Foundation has added new programs and revised an existing service to support people impacted by eating disorders since our original spotlight article:

  • Recovery navigation (new): A one-on-one clinician-led service, this program helps people create a personalized roadmap for eating disorder recovery.
  • Live-in treatment (new): In partnership with the EHN Sandstone live-in recovery centre, this program offers a safe, home-like environment with a dedicated team of clinicians providing personalized, around-the-clock care to support lasting recovery.
  • Groups and workshops (revised): Led by experienced clinicians, short workshops or multi-week groups offer expert guidance to help reduce isolation, build coping skills, and offer valuable insights at any stage of recovery.
  • Peer support: In this program, mentors who have successfully navigated their own recovery are matched with mentees for one-on-one support.

Eligibility

The foundation offers programs to anyone impacted by eating disorders, including support groups for people caring for someone with an eating disorder.

But there are additional requirements for some programs:

  • Live-in treatment is for people recovering from eating disorders aged 12 – 24 who need intensive support but do not meet hospitalization requirements or are transitioning out of hospital care.
  • Peer support is for Canadians aged 15 and older and requires mentees to be actively receiving or seeking out professional treatment from a registered therapist and/or dietitian.

 

Referral Process

Anyone can book a recovery navigation appointment, register for groups, or request more information on their website.

For live-in treatment, there is a referral form for healthcare providers, or their recovery navigation program can work with individuals to make a referral.
