Westwind Counselling and Eating Disorder Recovery Centre

09/10/2026

Today is World Su***de Prevention Day and this year’s theme is, “Changing the Narrative on Su***de,” which asks us to do something simple but powerful: start the conversation.
 
Eating disorders can thrive in silence. Shame, secrecy, isolation, and the belief that someone’s struggles aren’t “serious enough” or that they are not “sick enough” can make it incredibly difficult to reach out. And while eating disorders are serious mental illnesses, we also know that su***de risk can be elevated among people experiencing them. Talking openly about that risk isn’t about creating fear, it’s about creating opportunities for support and intervention.

Su***de prevention and eating disorder recovery share an important message: silence doesn’t protect people, but connection can. This World Su***de Prevention Day, let’s start the conversation. Ask the question. Listen without judgment. Take concerns seriously. And please remember that reaching out for help isn’t weakness, it is one of the bravest things you can do ❤️‍🩹
 
* If you or someone you know is in immediate danger or thinking about su***de, seek urgent help through your local services or crisis support. In Canada, you can call or text 988 for the Su***de Crisis Helpline, or connect online at https://988.ca *

We often hear from clients that they do not feel like they are doing enough in recovery or for their recovery — we will point out that this is a sneaky way that the eating disorder can show up…making someone feel not good enough or behind and encouraging them to just give up on recovery.

We are here to remind you that there is no timeline to and that small, consistent, day-to-day actions and choices are what truly makes the “big” steps possible. You are right where you are meant to be in YOUR recovery — just keep going…one hour, one meal, one day at a time 🤍

Westwind is here to support you🌿

The eating disorder often finds ways to limit the things you once enjoyed, like fun and yummy cereal 🥣

Not only the foods you once loved — but also experiences, connection and preferences, just to name a few. Trying something you used to enjoy is a way to reclaim YOU 🫶
