EnglishWhere to Find Eating Disorder Information and Crisis Resources Through Sheena's Place
Updated
Sheena's Place is a Toronto-based organization offering group-based support to people aged 17+ affected by an eating disorder or disordered eating. Its website (sheenasplace.org) is also a practical entry point for eating disorder information, recovery resources, and crisis links. The site's "Information & Resources" section covers about eating disorders, treatment and support, recovery resources, emergency and crisis support, eating disorder-sensitive dental services, and food banks. If you need urgent help, go directly to the emergency and crisis support page rather than starting with the general information pages.
What the site offers under Information & Resources
The navigation lists six resource areas. Each serves a different need:
| Resource area | What it is for |
|---|---|
| About eating disorders | General information on eating disorders and disordered eating |
| Eating disorder treatment & support | Information on treatment and support options |
| Resources for recovery | Materials and links to support recovery |
| Emergency & crisis support | Crisis and emergency contacts |
| Eating disorder-sensitive dental services | Dental care that accounts for eating disorder concerns |
| Food banks | Food access resources |
The site does not publish the specific contents or external links behind each of these pages in the material reviewed here, so treat the table as a map of what exists rather than a list of named services. Open each page to see the actual providers and contacts.
How to use the site when you need help now
- For an emergency or crisis: go to "Emergency & crisis support" in the Information & Resources menu. This is the page intended for urgent situations.
- For general understanding: start with "About eating disorders," then "Eating disorder treatment & support."
- For practical needs alongside recovery: check "Resources for recovery," "Eating disorder-sensitive dental services," and "Food banks."
- If you are unsure whether group support is right for you: register for one of the monthly virtual info sessions, which the site labels as the starting point.
Expected result: you land on a page with the relevant contacts or guidance instead of browsing general program content. A common snag is heading to the programs section first when the need is actually crisis-related; the crisis page sits under Information & Resources, not under Programs & Registration.
Group support: eligibility and registration
The core service is professionally facilitated group support, free of charge, with no diagnosis or referral required. Eligibility is age 17+. The site states there are five types of group support; the specific types and eligibility criteria are described on the "Group Support & Registration" page.
Registration is seasonal. The site notes that registration for the Fall 2026 season occurs on Monday, September 14th at 12pm, and points to a Fall 2026 Program Calendar. If you are planning to register, check that page for the current season's dates rather than assuming registration is always open.
Outreach and education
For people who want to learn more or train a team, Sheena's Place offers webinars and bookable training sessions through its "Outreach & Education" section. This is separate from participant-facing group support and is aimed at building awareness and understanding of eating disorders.
Practical notes
- The organization relies on donations to keep programs free; the site states programs are free to members and funded by individuals, foundations, and corporations.
- The site lists a contact page and a physical address (87 Spadina Road, Toronto) in its footer.
- The material reviewed does not describe login requirements, pricing for education offerings, or the contents of individual resource pages, so confirm details on the relevant page before relying on them.
