Hopewell is eastern Ontario’s only eating disorder support centre. We are a not-for-profit registered charitable organization created in 1999 by three Ottawa mothers who were driven by a common goal to help their daughters overcome their battles with anorexia.

Recognized by the professional community, the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario and the Ottawa Hospital, Hopewell has become a centre of excellence, providing information and support to those affected by eating disorders (anorexia, bulimia or binge eating).

We offer knowledge, support and hope to people dealing with the realities of these serious and potentially fatal illnesses. We also promote the prevention of eating disorders by helping youth understand the importance of healthy attitudes towards body image, eating and physical activity. Our preventative programs reinforce healthy self-esteem and positive body image, and teach media literacy skills and ways to cope with anxiety and stress.
