Looking Glass Foundation for Eating Disorders Looking Glass strives to support individuals struggling with eating disorders. We understand the journey and we are here to help.

We offer innovative and accessible programs and services that decrease isolation, instill hope, and sustain recovery. We are also home to the Looking Glass Residence, which is included in British Columbia’s Continuum of Care for Eating Disorders and supports medically-stable youth (17-18 years old) and young adults (19-24 years old) in their recovery from Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, or EDNOS. Truly residential, residents receive 24/7 care in a fully licensed and homelike environment. This residential treatment centre is an initiative of the not-for-profit Looking Glass Foundation and works closely with health care, community, and post-secondary partners. To find out more about the Looking Glass Residence, please contact us toll free at 1-888-980-5874 or email us at [email protected].

Everyone deserves access to eating disorder support - but too often, recognition and care are still shaped by outdated stereotypes.

When medical professionals are taught to recognize a narrow picture of who experiences an eating disorder, people get overlooked or misdiagnosed.

Not because their pain is smaller. Because the system wasn't built to see them. And when we know that early intervention is a key predictor of recovery, recognition matters.

This is one of the gaps we’re working to close. Through Bridge the Gap, we’re helping train the next generation of clinicians to recognize eating disorders in EVERY body, EVERY gender, EVERY age - because access to care shouldn’t depend on whether someone fits a stereotype.

Support is available, regardless of your identity, size, or story. Link in bio to learn more about our free peer support and low-cost counselling. 🫶

YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

Discomfort doesn't always mean danger, sometimes it means growth. Every time you turn towards a hard feeling instead of running from it, you build a little more resilience, a little more trust in yourself. You might surprise yourself with what you can handle. 🤍

Support is here when you need it. Link in bio 🔗

Health isn't a number. 🤍 It's balance, joy, and living in alignment with your values. Your recovery doesn't have to look like anyone else's. Looking Glass offers free and low-cost programs to support you, explore them on our website or send us an email to learn more 📧

You'd never let someone talk to your friend that way, so why let it happen to you?

Recovery starts with learning to speak to yourself with the same compassion you'd give someone you love. and you don't have to figure that out on your own.

We offer free peer support through Hand In Hand and low-cost counselling through Bridge the Gap, because everyone deserves support without barriers or waitlists.

Wherever you're at, you're welcome here. 🤍 Link in bio to learn more.

(thank you to for these incredible words. we are so grateful for creators putting this kind of messaging into the world)

This World Mental Health Day, the global theme is "Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change." 🌿 We can't think of a better day to share this.

Today we're celebrating our 2026 Reflections Scholarship recipients, a remarkable group of students awarded $5,000 each for their undergraduate education. They've worked toward recovery while pursuing their education, passions, and dreams, and their stories remind us that recovery isn't linear.

Too often, people with lived experience are asked to share their stories but left out of what happens next. We believe their voices hold real expertise, and this scholarship is one way we try to move from listening to action. Swipe through to read their words, in their own voices. 💛

Huge thanks to everyone who applied this year, and deep gratitude to our Reflections Scholarship Matching Donor, the Y.P. Heung Foundation, and to the funders of the Elise Skoglund Bursary.

Real voices, real change, that's what today, and this scholarship, are about.

Thinking of applying next time? The 2027 application period opens in Spring. Learn more at the link in our bio. 🤍

Here's a reframe worth sitting with: sharing your story, your fears, your progress, even the messy parts, isn't a burden. It's an honour. It's a privilege for the people who love you (and for us) to witness your human experience 🌱

Your vulnerability is not too much. Your healing is not inconvenient. You don't have to shrink your story to make it easier for someone else to hold 🤍

💬 If you're looking for judgment-free support, our peer support programs are free and built exactly for moments like these. Link in bio to learn more.

Two days ago was Truth and Reconciliation Day, and our team spent it the way we think this day deserves: slowing down, reflecting, and showing up for community.

Some attended the ceremony at Grandview Park, where we picked up a piece from an Indigenous artist at the community market, a piece that's now going to have a home with our team as a reminder of why this day matters beyond a single date on the calendar.

For others, the day looked like time outdoors with family, pets, and the people who ground us. Sometimes reflection is a walk in the forest with your dog. Sometimes it's your kids in orange shirts, carrying a lesson forward that's bigger than they are yet.

However it showed up for you, we hope this day held space for honesty, remembrance, and connection. For the children who never came home, for survivors, and for the work of reconciliation that doesn't end when the day does.

We don't have to carry grief or growth alone. That's true of this, and it's true of recovery too.

Whatever you're carrying, it doesn't change how we see you 🤍

If you need somewhere to bring it, our online peer support chats are free and open to anyone impacted by an eating disorder. You'll be connected with trained volunteers with lived experience who show up to listen, not judge. Come as you are, whenever you need it.

You don't have to do this alone. 🤍

We're stopping at every one of these 🚦

So many comments about bodies and food get a pass because they're dressed up as compliments or concern. None of it is as harmless as it sounds 🛑

Comments like these can quietly reinforce the idea that bodies are up for discussion and worth is tied to size. For someone in recovery or struggling, they can land a lot harder than intended.

You don't need a perfect script to do better. Just pause before the comment about someone's body or plate leaves your mouth. That pause is the green light we actually need 🟢
