Early Intervention & Prevention services refer to the identification of eating disorder symptoms and implementation of support as soon as symptoms are recognized. This also relates to the early identification and response to re-emerging symptoms for youth in eating disorder recovery. Early intervention & prevention services have proven to greatly reduce the impact of eating disorders long term.
Disordered eating behaviours often develop in response to negative body image and body dissatisfaction which can lead to serious physical, psychological and functional problems. Danielle’s Place has designed specific services to reduce these risk factors, enhance protective factors and ultimately reduce the increasing rates of disordered eating and eating disorders in our community.
