💚 Women with Eating Disorders

Participants receive comprehensive, ongoing care including:

• Assessment with a nurse practitioner, dietitian, and therapist
• Structured recovery plans
• Group-based treatment for adults

💚 Early Psychosis Support

Early intervention changes lives. This program offers:

• Full medical and psychiatric assessment
• Personalized treatment plans (therapy, medication, group support)
• Family education and daily living support

The goal: Help women and their families find balance, stability, and a path toward recovery.

The Bigger Picture

• Women are 3x more likely than men to experience depression
• 1 in 4 women will face depression in their lifetime

Your involvement helps ensure that women in Waterloo Wellington receive the support they need—when they need it most.
