Schools and school staff are in an ideal position to support the prevention of eating disorders in the school community, to identify and respond when a student might be experiencing an eating disorder, and to provide ongoing support throughout the recovery process.

With this in mind, NEDC developed the Eating Disorders in Schools booklet to provide schools and school staff with the key information and resources they need to effectively prevent, identify, and respond to eating disorders in their community.
