Eating Disorders Collaborative Care Program

Eating disorders -- such as anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder – include extreme emotions, attitudes, and behaviors surrounding weight and food issues that can lead to life-threatening consequences for females and males.

The Eating Disorders Collaborative Care Program is comprised of collaborative, multidisciplinary resource groups, including nutrition, counseling, medical, and psychiatry services. This integrated approach ensures students receive comprehensive, coordinated care that addresses both the physical and mental health aspects of eating disorders.
