treatment program is set to be built in Calgary with the aim of closing a “significant gap” in the continuum of care, according to the province.
On Wednesday the government announced $5.3 million over three years to establish a live-in recovery program for Albertans aged 13 to 24. The funding will go to 12 new publicly funded beds that will be run by Edgewood Health Network .“The new program will … increase treatment capacity by 200 per cent and support up to 72 additional youth and young adults every year,” said the province.
The funding will complement the $1 million already raised by Calgary’s Silver Linings Foundation to build a dedicated eating disorder treatment facility. “Eating disorders have been increasing in youth at an exponential pace since the start of the pandemic and can affect anyone regardless of gender, sex, or socio-economic background,” said Cendrine Tremblay, board chair of the foundation.
