Telehealth allows our team to serve individuals and families across Canada, in both urban and rural communities.

Telehealth is the delivery of healthcare remotely -  all you need is a computer, tablet or smart phone. We use a secure platform for video calls to ensure our clients’ privacy, as well as maintaining detailed health records. From the comfort of their own homes, clients meet with our team of Registered Dietitians and Registered Psychotherapists/Registered Counselling Therapists to engage in effective eating disorder care. 

Telehealth an effective way to deliver eating disorder care.

Research demonstrates that eating disorder treatment offered through telehealth reduces eating disorder symptoms, depression, anxiety, perfectionism, caregiver burden, and hospital admissions. Online eating disorder treatment improves weight, self-esteem, quality of life, and caregiver self-confidence. When in-person and online treatment are compared, they both decrease eating disorder symptoms to a similar extent.

Research also suggests that clients view telehealth highly and as good as or better than face-to-face treatment. Clients who attend telehealth appointments for eating disorder recovery are satisfied with their care.

Benefits of Telehealth:

Accessibility

  • Telehealth allows you to avoid long car rides and not worry about parking or whether the office space is accessible.
  • You and your loved ones can sign in from different locations so you can stay where you are and avoid taking time off.
  • Telehealth also allows our practice to have shorter wait times so our team can provide eating disorder care sooner.

Comfort

  • You can access care from the comfort of your home and completely bypass any waiting area.
  • For families, telehealth can help you avoid long, awkward car rides home after sessions. You also avoid having to persuade your child to get out of the car and into an office for the first time.
  • If you or your child have a weakened immune system, you can feel comfortable that you won’t catch any bugs at home.

Flexibility

  • Telehealth allows our Eating Disorder Care Providers to offer flexible scheduling and evening sessions.
  • No need to miss school, work, extracurriculars or social time to attend sessions.
  • You can also sign in from anywhere - work, home, school, vehicle, vacation, etc.

Privacy

  • You can attend telehealth appointments from the privacy of your own home.
  • No need to worry about running into someone you know you know in a waiting room.
  • Telehealth video runs over a secure, encrypted platform to ensure your privacy is protected.

Telehealth promotes environmental sustainability.

  • There is no driving required for telehealth appointments, which lowers both clients’ and clinicians’ carbon footprints.
  • Change Creates Change is also paperless. All of our forms can be completed online, and chart notes are written and stored on a secure online platform.

Research shows that telehealth reduced carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by 330,000 metric tonnes in 2021. This amount is equivalent to taking more than 72,000 cars off the road for one year or providing electricity for more than 60,000 homes for one year.

Things to keep in mind for online appointments:

  • It is best for calls to occur in a quiet, private space.
  • Internet access and a stable internet connection are required for video calls.
  • We encourage cameras to be on during video appointments so we can best engage with our clients.
