Looking Glass Foundation for Eating Disorders
The Looking Glass Foundation for Eating Disorders, a Canadian nonprofit organization, is dedicated to supporting individuals impacted by eating disorders. The organization fosters a supportive environment that helps reduce isolation, instills hope, and sustains recovery for those affected.
Programs and Services
-
Personal Recovery Space (PRS): This program provides peer support through a private digital forum available 24/7. It offers empathetic and confidential support for individuals recovering from eating disorders.
-
Hand in Hand: This initiative pairs individuals with trained volunteer mentors for weekly support sessions. While originally in-person, these meetings were adapted to virtual formats during the COVID-19 pandemic.
-
Online Peer Support: Volunteer moderators facilitate online group support chats six times a week. These sessions are safe, confidential, and encouraging for participants at any stage of recovery.
-
Scholarship Program: The foundation awards scholarships to British Columbia undergraduate students who have experienced or are experiencing eating disorders, recognizing resilience and achievements.
Mission and Impact
The Looking Glass Foundation aims to make a difference in the lives of those struggling with eating disorders by providing impactful programs supported by trained volunteers and professional staff. Its Board of Directors, comprised of volunteers, plays a crucial role in overseeing these initiatives.
By offering safe and supportive environments, the foundation helps bridge gaps in service, ensuring that individuals have access to the help they need during their recovery journey. The organization continues to grow, recently achieving significant fundraising milestones, such as a record-breaking $528,000 raised at an event in 2025.

At Looking Glass Foundation, we believe that meaningful support often comes from shared understanding. That’s why we’re currently welcoming more volunteers aged 30+ to join our Hand in Hand program—a one-to-one peer support service for individuals impacted by eating disorders. Many of the people reaching out to us are looking to connect with someone who understands what it’s like to navigate similar life stages—someone steady, compassionate, and open. If you or someone you know cares deeply about mental health, has personal insight into recovery, or simply knows how to show up for others, we’d love to hear from you. 📩 Know someone who might be a great fit? Share this post, tag, or send them the link! Sometimes, all it takes is one thoughtful referral to make a real difference. Let’s continue growing this community in thoughtful, meaningful ways. 💙 🔗 Click the link in bio to learn more or apply today! #SelfCare #EDWarrior #RecoveryIsPossible #EatingDisorderRecovery #MentalHealthMatters #HealingHappensTogether #MentalHealthAwareness (fb)
