Peer-to-Peer Connections

The SSMU Eating Disorder Centre uses Mentorcity, a virtual messaging platform for individuals interested in having a private space to talk to support volunteers who are trained in harm reduction, active listening, and other trauma-informed, anti-oppressive care practices.

Our volunteers provide non-directional, non-judgmental, and inclusive support through online messages. This service is free of charge and does not require any kind of diagnosis. It is open to anyone who wishes to privately discuss experiences with disordered eating, body image issues, and/or eating disorders, but is not limited to these topics.

Each user is matched with two trained volunteers

Volunteers respond within 72 hours

Support is virtual, long-term, and confidential
