Eating Disorder Support
We recognize the need for education and support around eating disorders and preoccupation with food, weight, and body image. Eating disorders are complicated medical and psychological conditions that affect a wide range of individuals, including people of all genders, ages, races, religions, ethnicities, sexual orientations, body shapes and weights.
Research has shown that a multidisciplinary approach to treatment is most effective for long-term success for an eating disorder. Student Health Services (SHS) and the Center for Counseling and Student Development (CCSD) work closely together to support students with disordered eating. Where appropriate, we offer coordinated care with medical doctors, dietitians and psychological counselors. An appropriate treatment plan will be established based on level of care required and services available on-campus and/or off-campus, to promote recovery and reduce the risk of relapse.
You can schedule an appointment through SHS at 302-831-2226 or through CCSD at 302-831-2141, whichever is more comfortable. We can then coordinate our integrated services with your partnership.
