What is it about?
The 2024 New Brunswick Eating Disorder Summit identified major gaps in eating disorder services and key public health priorities, including specialized care, interdisciplinary training, and clearer pathways to treatment. This community-engaged work shows how collective action can inform policy and improve equitable access to evidence-based care in underresourced settings.

Why is it important?
Eating disorder services are often underfunded, despite their prevalence and significant health and mental health impact. This paper demonstrates how collective action can inform policy development and improve pathways to care.
Perspectives
I hope this article highlights the importance of community engagement to develop eating disorder service pathways. It has been a pleasure working with professionals from diverse health and mental health fields, policy-makers, and people with lived-experiences to advocate for changes.
