About Us

Our Story

Founded by people with endometriosis, for people affected by endometriosis. The Endometriosis Network Canada began in 2012, when a group of people living with endometriosis came together to improve support, education, and awareness for people affected by the disease. What started as a grassroots community has grown into a registered charity with a national reach. Today, we provide trusted information, peer support, education, advocacy, and community connection so that people affected by endometriosis across Canada feel informed, supported, and less alone.

Our Purpose

The Endometriosis Network Canada exists to improve the lives of people affected by endometriosis by increasing public awareness, advancing education, advocating for timely and appropriate care, and fostering a supportive community.

Our Mission

To provide resources, support, and connection for people affected by endometriosis, promote awareness of the disease, and advocate for timely and compassionate care.

Our Vision

A Canada where endometriosis is broadly recognized and supported: where awareness, timely diagnosis, and compassionate care are the norm.

Our Values

Compassionate Support

We lead with empathy. Our community is built on understanding, kindness, and genuine care, offering support that honours both the challenges and the strength of those living with endometriosis.

Honouring Each Individual Journey

We recognize that endometriosis affects everyone differently. We respect each person’s unique path, validating their experiences and supporting them at every stage of their journey.
