Eating Disorder Support

Support for eating disorders and disordered eating is critical to student well-being and academic success. Our staff help students assess their needs and connect with the appropriate level of care based on symptom severity and stability.

On-campus support is available for students whose symptoms are currently stable but who need ongoing support to maintain recovery. This may include referral to OhioHealth Campus Care or another primary care provider, consultation with a registered dietitian, and coordination with current or previous treatment providers.

For students whose symptoms are not stable or are worsening, we assist with identifying and accessing higher levels of care and provide support throughout the referral process.

Not sure if you should seek help? Learn more about the difference between disordered eating and eating disorders through the National Eating Disorder Association, and complete their confidential eating disorder screening tool to help determine next steps.
