Welcome to The Eating Disorder Centre of the Students Society of McGill University
We strive to create a safer space for McGill students to learn about, seek support, access resources, and raise awareness about eating disorders, disordered eating, and other body-image related issues.
Our Mission
The Eating Disorder Centre of the Students Society of McGill University (EDCSSMU) supports students with eating disorders, disordered eating, and body image issues through trauma-informed, inclusive, and anti-oppressive care. We provide education, advocacy, and support services, in an environment that is anti-ableist, anti-racist, and body-positive, where we can celebrate diversity, and promote healing for all.
Our Services
The EDCSSMU provides three different services aimed at supporting, educating, and advocating for groups and individuals dealing with disordered eating, body image concerns, and other mental health issues.
