A
Thank

Mr
I
would
like
to
acknowledge
I'm,
giving
this
statement
from
The
ancestral
territories
at
the
LA
conguen
people,
the
songis
and
the
esquimal
Nations
and
I.
Thank
them
for
the
opportunity
to
live
and
work
here
and
when
I'm
in
my
riding
of
North,
Vancouver,
Seymour,
I,
work,
live
and
learn
in
the
territories
of
the
slay,
with
tooth
of
the
Squamish
Nations
and
I'm
always
grateful

the

Eating
Disorders
are
complex
and
difficult
to
treat
with
high
Dropout
and
mortality
rates.
A
They
are
often
associated
with
other
disorders,
such
as
depression
and
anxiety,
and
are
often
long-standing
with
serious
medical
consequences,
including
life-threatening
effects.
Research
shows
that
living
eating
disorder
treatment
can
be
highly
successful
for
youth.
Thankfully,
we
have
the
only
living
eating
disorder
program,
specifically
designed
for
16
to
24
year
old
youth
in
Canada.
The
looking
glass
treatment
program
operated
out
of
BC
Children's
Hospital,
the
program's
interdisciplinary
staff
provide
a
combination
of
group
and
individual
therapy
meal
support,
nursing
and
Medical
Care
in
a
24
7
home-like
environment
in
South
Vancouver.
A
This
is
a
safe
and
supportive
environment,
where
patients
can
challenge
the
power
of
an
eating
disorder
and
learn
positive
ways
to
cope
with
daily
life.
The
program
Fosters
Independence,
while
providing
options
for
family
involvement
and
there's
academic
help
for
those
who
have
not
yet
graduated
from
high
school
program
sees
over
100
patients
a
year,
including
live-in,
virtual
and
outpatient
services.
As
you
can
imagine,
the
team
has
faced
some
challenges
these
past
years,
due
to
covet,
however,
they've
been
very
Innovative
in
reimagining
the
program,
including
offering
full-time
virtual
Day
program
and
virtual
support
groups.
