What is the Level of Care Self Assessment (LoCSA)

Medical Monitoring Resources

At Body Brave, we provide support and resources for individuals navigating eating disorder recovery. However, it’s important to note that we do not offer medical monitoring as part of our services. Medical monitoring is a crucial aspect of eating disorder care, often involving regular check-ins with a primary care provider to track physical health, manage risks, and provide necessary interventions.

​

We strongly recommend that clients work closely with their primary care provider for medical monitoring while accessing our programs. Our services are designed to complement professional medical care, not replace it.

Supporting Patients on Waiting Lists

​

When a patient sees their primary care provider and is diagnosed with an eating disorder, the primary care provider is responsible to monitor the patient's care until they are accepted into a treatment program.

​

In Canada, it can take up to 2 years for a patient to start their treatment for their eating disorder and during that time their health may decline and must be managed. The primary care provider is usually the person responsible for monitoring them and staying in touch during the time they are waiting for their referral. 

​

While waiting for treatment, the primary care provider should see the patient monthly, or more often depending on the patient's situation.
