Have questions about Eating Disorders? We have a panel of experts joining us live to answer them for you.

Knowing how to help our kids who are experiencing an eating disorder can be an isolating and overwhelming experience.

Learn about disordered eating, what to be aware of, the importance of connection, and strategies that help support recovery.

Watch a video with Victoria Keddis hosting a conversation with Eating Disorders Therapist & Educator Carmen Kaufmann, and Rylee McKinlay, a young person with lived experience and Terri McKinlay, a parent with lived experience.

Being a dad is more than a title—it’s a daily choice to show up, to listen, and to lead with love. It’s in the small moments that matter most: the quiet drive to school, the shared laughter, the steady presence when the world feels big. Dads shape confidence, resilience, and belonging simply by being there.

LRCA Dad’s Drop-In is a space to connect, learn, and grow together—because strong dads build strong families, and strong families build strong communities. No perfection required, just presence. Come as you are, and be part of something that matters.
