This library guide is intended to provide information to caregivers and child welfare practitioners about the ways in which children and youth in care can be supported when they have experienced food insecurity or are experiencing disordered eating behaviours. This guide includes a section on information and support that is specific to children and youth in care and their caregivers, as well as a section that outlines information and resources for disordered eating more generally.

This guide is intended as a supplementary resource for caregivers and child welfare practitioners. It is not an authority on health or medical information and cannot replace advice from a medical professional, nor is it meant to be representative of all perspectives. Users are encouraged to think critically when reviewing publications and other materials.
