We envision a future where no child or adolescent feels they must secretly choose between food and self-worth.

To educate parents, guardians, and educators how to:

  • recognize the early signs of eating disorders, and,

  • gently disrupt harmful patterns of disordered eating in school-aged kids so they feel safe expressing their feelings about complex issues before a crisis takes hold.

Who we are

Reframe Voices Society is dedicated to helping parents, educators, and communities recognize the early signs of disordered eating so children, adolescents and youth can get support before silent struggles become serious health crises.

With a trauma-informed approach, we deliver compassionate, preventative education and practical tools that give families the confidence to start the conversations that matter most.

Why we care

We’ve seen what happens when intervention is delayed, comes too late or never arrives at all. Left untreated in childhood, eating disorders can progress into chronic lifelong conditions or life-threatening illnesses.

An eating disorder diagnosis is a health crisis that disrupts personal and family functioning. Eating disorders carry an increased risk for medical complications and suicide*.

* If you or someone you love is navigating an eating disorder, please know you’re not alone, and there is help out there. For immediate assistance across Canada, you can reach out to nedic.ca and chat with a Support Worker.

How we started

When Penny first set out, she created a crowdsourced fundraising video with the headline: PENNY’S BIG ASK.

“I reached out to my circle of friends, former colleagues, anyone who would listen, with one simple request: can you give $20 and help me spread the word to get this off the ground?"

67 people contributed in the first 2 weeks, turning various individual gifts into a collective start-up fund of $5,000+. Their generosity not only covered our first critical expenses, but also showed how deeply this mission resonates.

It gave our newly formed Board of Directors and first volunteers the encouragement and momentum to begin.”

Thank you from my 💜 + 🧠 — Penny
