We’re incredibly excited to officially launch a national strategy for eating disorders in Canada. There are 50 recommendations outlined for us to take action on... over the next 10 years, ranging across prevention, public education and awareness, treatment, caregiver support, training, and research. Thank you to our partners National Initiative for Eating Disorders - NIED, Eating Disorders Foundation of Canada (EDFC), and the Eating Disorders Association of Canada (EDAC-ATAC) and the many stakeholders who were consulted for their tireless work on this initiative. We believe that all people living in Canada affected by eating disorders and related mental illnesses deserve equitable access to high quality, evidence-based publicly funded health care and social services to support their recovery no matter where they live in Canada.

"Like any technology, naloxone has passed through social cycles of innovation, adoption and backlash social processes that have brought activists and public health officials, law enforcement, and private medicine into conflict over the terms on which opioids would be used in societies that are both deeply dependent and deeply ambivalent about them. For its protagonists, naloxone’s story is one of a technology of solidarity, but naloxone’s predecessor was initially used as a technology of suspicion."
