We had the privilege of presenting at the OCA Conference for Healthcare Workers on managing eating disorders at camp this week. Our team introduced The Nourish Scale, an innovative tool we designed in collaboration with the Healthcare Team at Camp Walden to help assess camper stability in real time.

Supporting young people with EDs at camp requires practical frameworks that honour what recovery actually looks like in community settings - where meals are shared, bodies are visible, and kids are navigating it all without their usual clinical supports.

We’re hosting a virtual evening event for ALL camps on June 4th to go deeper. Offering practical strategies for supporting campers with EDs and fostering healthy food and body connections at camp. You can find the details under the events page at the link in bio.

Meet Vanessa P**n, TPWG’s Clinical Innovation & Outreach Student Intern this year!

Vanessa is an undergraduate student at Johns Hopkins University, pursuing a dual degree in Psychology and Dance. A graduate of Bishop Strachan School, she brings both an impressive academic foundation and a deep commitment to advancing youth mental health.

Her experience spans research and advocacy, currently contributing to OCD and anxiety research at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, and serving on the Youth Experts Panel at CAMH, where she helps elevate youth perspectives across national mental health initiatives.

At TPWG, Vanessa is supporting a very exciting new community outreach program designed to better meet the needs of youth, educators, and school communities. (More on that to come!)

We’re intentional about building a team that reflects both excellence and purpose. Vanessa embodies the kind of thoughtful, engaged leadership we believe is essential in shaping the future of youth mental health.

You’re not overthinking because you’re indecisive. You’re overthinking because somewhere along the way, you learned that getting it wrong meant disappointing people.

That certainty was safer than risk. That your worth depended on making the “right” choice every time.

The overthinking isn’t the problem - it’s trying to protect you from feelings that once felt unbearable. And when you understand what’s driving it, you can start to respond differently.

If this resonates, our team works with high-achievers navigating perfectionism and anxiety. Link in bio to connect with our team.

Meet Dr. Michele Foster, Ph.D., C.Psych.

Michele is a Registered Clinical Psychologist, Co-Founder and Director of TPWG. She works with adolescents and adults navigating mood and anxiety disorders, addictions, self-harm, disordered eating, trauma, OCD, and challenges with personality functioning, relationships, and emotion regulation. Her approach values compassion and candidness - she highlights the resilience and strength her clients already carry, and believes treatment is best tailored to each person’s unique needs, symptoms, and goals.

With training in DBT, CBT, Emotion-Focused Therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, and evidence-based PTSD treatments including Prolonged Exposure and Cognitive Processing Therapy, Michele brings both clinical rigor and genuine warmth to her work. Her clinical experience includes working in a private DBT program, completing her residency at Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences, and receiving training through SickKids’ Eating Disorder Program and Toronto General Hospital’s Outpatient Eating Disorder Program.

Michele is passionate about the prevention and treatment of disordered eating and weight/shape preoccupation, and frequently liaises with institutions in the arts to support athletes, dancers, and entertainers. She regularly presents workshops at schools and institutions throughout Toronto.

Outside the therapy room, you’ll find her at the movies, baking, painting, arranging fresh flowers, or spending time with family, friends, and her beloved pug!

Your child saves their biggest emotions for you because you’re their safest place.

It’s not because you’re doing something wrong. It’s because you’re doing something profoundly right.

But that doesn’t make it easier when the meltdowns land hardest on you.

DBT for Children (DBT-C) teaches practical emotional regulation skills - for your child and for you. So you can navigate the storm together instead of just surviving it.

You don’t have to do this alone.

When Alysa Liu said “I love struggling, actually. It makes me feel alive,” she wasn’t talking about triple axels. She was talking about the kind of struggle that builds you.

After retiring from elite skating at 16, burned out and exhausted, Alysa discovered something rare: a mindset where life is about experience, not outcomes. Where struggle isn’t failure - it’s the point. Where you can connect with everything but attach to nothing.

That shift - from needing to win to simply needing to show up - is what psychological resilience actually looks like. It’s separating your identity from your performance. Finding meaning in the process, not the result. Trusting yourself to figure it out, even when it’s hard.

Her outlook isn’t about being unaffected. It’s about being so rooted in yourself that external circumstances can’t destabilize you.

Maybe that’s the work - not avoiding the hard things, but learning to meet them without losing yourself.
