What is EDAC-ATAC?

EDAC-ATAC is a Canadian organization of professionals in the field of eating disorders and related areas, dedicated to serving the needs of those whose lives are impacted by eating disorders. Our national community is small, our geography huge. Membership to our growing organization provides numerous opportunities for communication and collaboration across our country.

The EDAC-ATAC Board of Directors would like to welcome new members and to thank renewing members for their support of EDAC-ATAC , each and every year. We encourage those involved in the care and research of eating disorders to stand up and be counted amongst peers from across Canada in strengthening this new and first ever Canadian association of eating disorder professionals.

EDAC-ATAC was incorporated in 2018. Joining EDAC-ATAC provides opportunities to connect with clinicians who share your interests and allows you to be a part of a growing organization dedicated to improving care for individuals with eating disorders across Canada.

Membership dues will help support the Board of Directors in working together to establish the groundwork for what we hope will be a vibrant and scholarly association. Our national community is small, our geography huge. EDAC-ATAC needs your help and hopes that you will also consider volunteering some time to help us develop. Let’s join together to make this happen!

EDAC-ATAC is registered as a not for profit organization in the Province of Ontario. Memberships are available for one and two calendar years, and run January-December.

Members who join after November 1st shall have their membership credited to the following year. 

Why join EDAC-ATAC?

EDAC-ATAC accomplishments in 2023: 

  • This year, we had the opportunity to partner with the BC Eating Disorders Research Cluster, the BC Eating Disorders Network, the Provincial Adult Tertiary and Specialized Eating Disorders Program at St. Paul’s Hospital, and the Ontario Early Intervention for Eating Disorders group. We hosted a full-day workshop with Dr. Tracey Wade in May 2023, who shared innovations in service models, touching on evidence-informed interventions from early intervention to severe and enduring eating disorders.   
  • We hosted a special presentation in late November on defining good outcomes in eating disorders care, presented by Dr. Amelia Austin. All webinars and special presentations are hosted on the EDAC-ATAC website in the members area section.  
  • To improve opportunities for member engagement and create a space for members to share news items relevant to the membership, such as research opportunities and job postings, we have moved to a monthly newsflash model, in addition to our regular newsletters.  
  • The long-standing Nutrition and Psychotherapists in Private Practice sections continue to meet regularly and are open to welcoming new members. 

What’s ahead in 2024: 

  • 7th biennial EDAC-ATAC 2024 Conference – We are thrilled to be planning an in-person conference, which will take place in Vancouver in October 2024.  The theme of our 2024 conference will be “Creativity and Connection”.  For more information, please visit the conference website https://edac-atac2024.com/
