About
Eating Disorders and Nutrition The Eating Disorders and Nutrition Program at
Dartmouth College incorporates multiples, collaborating areas of the College
Health Service. The Eating Disorder Treatment Team consists of representation
from the Primary Care/Preventive Medicine out-patient department (PCPM), In-Patient
Services (IPD),
Counseling and Human Development (CHD), and Nutrition areas of the
Health Service. These departments work together to create, plan, and implement
eating disorders treatment on the Dartmouth campus.
Health Resources' primary role in this is through eating disorders outreach
and education. Health Resources sponsors two student groups: the Eating
Disorders Peer Advisors (EDPA), a peer
resource for eating disorders and nutrition assistance, information, and
referral, and the Students Against the Abuse of Food and Exercise (SAFE) which organizes and sponsors eating
disorders awareness, outreach, and education on campus.
In addition to individual therapy and informational resources, Counseling
and Human Development offers group therapy for eating disorders and body image
concerns, as well as an online screening for Eating Disordered behavior.

Programs
The Eating Disorders and Nutrition Program at Dartmouth sponsors various
educational and outreach programs on the Dartmouth campus and often community
events in collaboration with organizations such as the Hanover Food Co-op and Dartmouth
Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC). The bulk of
programming done with the Eating Disorders and Nutrition Program occurs in
small group discussions within residence halls and with athletic trainers and
sports teams on a variety of related issues. The goal of these programs is to
both educate and raise awareness.
