Recovery for every body

Our Services

Virtual treatment & support for wherever you are on your journey

Stepped care approach to recovery

We offer online, self-guided support programming, as well as group and individual treatment services. Our model of care is based on a ‘stepped care’ approach to recovery. Stepped care is an evidence-based, staged system involving a series of interventions, from the least to the most intensive. This model of care allows people to ‘step up’ or ‘step down’ care intensity to match their unique needs and preferences.

Our support and treatment programs are free to access or are covered by OHIP.

In our Recovery Support program, we recommend optional self-guided recovery workbooks that individuals must purchase. However, this recommendation is completely optional and free resources are also available to participants.

What does weight inclusive mean?

Weight Inclusiveness is an approach to healthcare that emphasizes health and well-being as multi-faceted ("while directing efforts toward improving health access and reducing weight stigma" as defined by Tylka, T., Annunziato, R., Burgard, D., Daníelsdóttir, S., Shuman, E., Davis, C., & Calogero, R.M. (2014). The Weight-Inclusive versus Weight-Normative Approach to Health: Evaluating the Evidence for Prioritizing Well-Being over Weight Loss. Journal of Obesity, 2014.)

I'm still unsure where to start, is there anywhere I can ask a few questions?
