We extend our mission beyond individual support to foster collective action and awareness through strategic partnerships with post-secondary student groups across Canada. Our collaboration with student groups is a cornerstone of our approach, combining the insights of psychology and the strategies of business to create a meaningful impact on campuses and in communities.
Innovation through Collaboration: By affiliating with CEDAA, student groups gain access to a wealth of resources, knowledge, and networks that amplify their efforts to address eating disorders and promote mental health. Our partnership is designed to encourage innovation, support work-integrated learning, and facilitate community entrepreneurship — turning academic insights into tangible, community-focused actions.
Work-Integrated Learning and Entrepreneurship: CEDAA offers student groups unique opportunities to engage in work-integrated learning by planning and executing projects related to preventative health. These experiences not only enhance educational outcomes through real-world application but also foster community entrepreneurship by encouraging students to develop and implement innovative solutions to complex problems.
Community-Based Research: We champion student-led, community-based research initiatives that seek to understand the nuances of eating disorders, their impact on various populations, and effective prevention and intervention strategies. Collaborating with CEDAA opens doors to conducting impactful research that contributes to the broader body of knowledge and directly informs our workshops, resources, and advocacy efforts.
Workshops and Resource Packages: CEDAA provides student groups with comprehensive workshops and resource packages tailored to the needs of their campus community. These resources are designed to educate, raise awareness, and offer support, drawing from the latest research and best practices in the field of eating disorders and mental health.
Grant/Event Funding: CEDAA is proud to offer grant funding opportunities specifically designed for post-secondary student groups in Canada. These grants are a pivotal part of our collaboration strategy, providing the necessary financial support to bring innovative projects and awareness campaigns to life on campuses across the country.
