University Resources

Finding effective treatment for a student in your care can often be a challenging process. Whether this is the first time a student is seeking help, or an individual with an eating disorder history, college students often report feeling quite overwhelmed during this time. However, it's important for them to know that many treatment options are available. It is imperative that students be very proactive in finding the best treatment option quickly, as research clearly indicates that early and aggressive treatment results in improved outcomes for those struggling with this illness. To guide university staff in securing treatment for their students, HRS has developed a comprehensive directory of eating disorder resources nationwide. And in those cases where a higher level of care is warranted, this directory also includes information on residential treatment facilities throughout the country. HRS has also begun to create both campus awareness materials and other resources which can guide university staff seeking additional ways their community can best support students with body image and/or eating concerns.
