The Orange County Eating Disorders Coalition was formed to address the issue of eating disorders in Orange County .  Individuals from schools, colleges, hospitals, county government and those recovering from eating disorders joined in the mission to advance the understanding, prevention, and early detection and treatment of eating disorders.  Some of our accomplishments have included a regional resource and referral list of providers specializing in eating disorders, an on-line eating disorders screening program, a Family Members and Friends Support Group, community educational workshops and annual conferences.  

As part of our awareness campaign, this past year, we took part as a co-sponsor in a National Eating Disorders Awareness Walk  as well as provided area workshops on “Current Trends in Eating Disorders,” “Paving the Way to Better Health and Nutrition: We Can Stop Obesity,” and “To Eat or Not to Eat? Surviving the Holidays.”  Our group of committed individuals continues to be dedicated to providing a greater awareness, ongoing education and current information to our community.   

For additional information visit the Renfrew Center ’s website at www.renfrewcenter.com or the National Eating Disorders Association at www.nationaleatingdisorders.org

Each of these websites offers printed materials, resources and toolkits.
