University Student Services

Colleges and universities play a critical role in supporting students who may be struggling with an eating disorder. They recognize the importance of promoting physical and mental health among students and implement a range of resources and services to provide support and care for those affected by eating disorders.

    • Counseling centers staffed with licensed mental health professionals who have experience treating eating disorders.
    • Partnerships with local eating disorder treatment centers to ensure students have access to specialized care if needed.
    • Educational programs and workshops that provide students with information about healthy eating habits, body image, and the risks associated with eating disorders.
