The Harbour is a novel outpatient eating disorders program providing accessible, interdisciplinary care for post-secondary students. Founded by the Eating Disorders Foundation of Canada (EDFC), The Harbour offers evidence-based treatment and support in a welcoming, community-based environment.

Through its partnership with Western University and Fanshawe College, The Harbour aims to support students with eating disorders in a comprehensive program tailored to students.

The Harbour treatment program is designed to:

• Fit within student schedules and environments
• Provide coordinated care across disciplines
• Address academic, social, and mental health challenges
• Reduce barriers to access and wait times

There is currently no established inter-professional care models designed specifically for emerging adults (ages 16–25) in post-secondary settings. Students often experience delays in care, fragmented services, and limited support during a critical developmental transition. The Harbour Clinic was created in order to fill this gap.
