While the holidays can be a time of joy for many, it may be a time of increased stress for those struggling with eating disorders.

The increased presence of food and indulgence this time of year can make life difficult for people living with EDs.

Paul Twomey, Executive Director of the Eating Disorder Foundation in this province, says they have extra support in place for those who are struggling.

He urges people to reach out to the foundation for tips on how to cope with their eating disorders. Twomey also encourages family members to get in touch to learn ways to support their loved ones.

Those looking for support can contact the foundation at 1-855-722-0500 or online.
