Thanks to your generosity, a clinic dedicated to adolescents with eating disorders is now fully operational at Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne.
For months, Léa tried to hide what she was going through. At 14, she had learned to smile even when everything hurt. Meals became a source of anxiety. Spending time with friends felt overwhelming. In her eyes, her mother could see that something was breaking…
At home, conversations often fell silent. The silences grew longer.
I felt like I didn’t deserve to eat
Then one day, Léa and her mother walked through the doors—together—of the outpatient clinic for eating disorders, right here at Hôpital Charles-Le Moyne. Week after week, Léa learned to understand her emotions. To reconnect with her body. To make peace with herself. For the first time in a long while, she felt like she was enough… enough to heal.
Léa also took part in a therapeutic cruise experience. An innovative, alternative approach that helps adolescents rebuild confidence and look toward the future with renewed hope.
Your generosity made this specialized eating-disorders clinic for young people possible. For adolescents fighting invisible yet devastating illnesses.
You are helping adolescents and their families receive care at the moment they need it most. Care that is comprehensive, compassionate, and coordinated.
