It’s Provincial Eating Disorders Awareness Week.

How we feel about our bodies can affect our health, our mood, and our daily life. Many people worry about how they look, but everyone deserves to feel safe, confident, and respected in their own body. Feeling unhappy with your body can lead young people to try unhealthy ways to control their weight, and it can often happen before an eating disorder develops.

Body image is shaped by our experiences, the people around us, and what we see in the media. Children especially develop body image through media and how adults talk about food, exercise and bodies.

👉 Swipe for some tips on how to help your child develop a healthy relationship with food and body.

Black History and Futures Month is a time to honour the legacy and contributions of Black Canadians across generations – including the many whose contributions have shaped and strengthened our health-care system.

It is also an important reminder of our ongoing commitment at Vancouver Coastal Health to create care environments where patients, clients, families and staff feel respected, safe and supported.

Advancing equity and cultural safety is essential to identifying and dismantling attitudes, practices and processes that can negatively affect health outcomes.

We encourage you to join us in learning, reflecting, and engaging in the conversations that move us towards more equitable care.
